CanWEA marks Global Wind Day with launch of expanded Power of Wind contest

The Canadian Wind Energy Association  is launching its seventh annual Power of Wind contest* to celebrate Global Wind Day, held every year on June 15 to give people in Canada and around the world an opportunity to explore wind energy and how it works.
CanWEA marks Global Wind Day with launch of expanded Power of Wind contest

Contestants are invited to submit a photo or visual image that conveys their vision of how wind energy can contribute to Canada's future.

"The world is in the midst of a transition to a low-carbon future, and this ninth anniversary of Global Wind Day is a good time to reflect on the important role wind energy will play in this shift," said CanWEA  President Robert Hornung. "That's what the Power of Wind contest is all about, and we're looking forward to seeing the creative ways Canadians find to present their views on an issue that is so important to our economic growth and environmental sustainability."

This year's Power of Wind contest* is open to post-secondary students and members of the general public. The top two student entries will each receive a $1,000 bursary, with a third $1,000 prize awarded to the best submission from a non-student.

Winning entries will be announced in the fall issue of CanWEA's WindSight magazine and, along with up to 10 honourable mentions, will be featured in the 2018 Friends of Wind calendar.

The deadline for submissions is August 1, 2017.

*Note: This contest is intended for viewing and participation in all Canadian provinces and territories with the exception of Québec.
