FREE Solutions Video Contest – the Competition is now open!

Do you live in a remote or rural area? Or a small town in the European countryside? Do you have a specific way of dealing with your energy concerns?

The FREE initiative has launched its ‘FREE Solutions Video Contest’, and would like to invite inhabitants of remote and rural regions in Europe to submit how they face their specific energy challenges into a short video. This is a great opportunity for mountains areas to show and share their energy specificities.

To participate in the contest, please make a 2-min (max.) home-video (e.g. using your smartphone or a handy cam) showing us the challenges you face on a daily basis or the sustainable energy improvements made in your residence or business. Submit your video and get a chance to win one of the two cool and dynamic GoPro Action Cameras, allowing you to share your rural energy adventures from your viewpoint with the rest of the world!

To view the rules of the contest, the ‘how-to’ page, and all submission details, please click here.

For more information, please contact the secretariat of the FREE initiative: +32 2 235 0997, or by email: rural-energy@fleishman.com
