Where
It's ECOnomics, don't waste paper! All entries must be submitted online.

What
Your original "ECOnomics" business idea. Good for business. Good for the environment. Tell us what it is concisely. Entries can not exceed 3,000 characters including spaces. That's about 500 words.

How
Your business plan will be judged in four phases by a group of highly regarded business and environmental leaders. For details on the judging phases, go to the Official Rules on the navigation bar at the left.

Who
Open to residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are 21 years of age or older. For complete eligibility requirements, go to the Official Rules on the navigation bar at the left.

CAVEAT. There is one caveat, and it's a big one: YOUR ENTRY IS NOT CONFIDENTIAL, and your idea may be used by DowJones/GE, whether or not you are a winner.

If this all sounds great to you, draft the snazziest 500 words you can and mosey on over for your entry.
