This contest was designed to be an educational exercise to stimulate interest in Photovoltaic technologies. It is simple and so are the rules. Our intention is to educate and not get involved in legal battles over the competition. If you think you might take it too seriously then please do not enter! 

The contest is open to students from Secondary Schools in Australia. In states where this contest contravenes local or any law the entry will not be eligible for a prize. If you are not sure just enter and have a go for the fun of testing your skills! 

Secondary School: We define Secondary School as any accredited educational institution in Australia covering Years 7-12. 

Students from Schools outside Australia may submit an entry for fun but will not be eligible for any prizes. Students may enter as many times as they wish. 

Should more than 1 entrant achieve the best result then the entry that was first received will win the prize. (This means get your entry in as early as possible!) 

Should the Internet or any computer systems crash and we are unable to accept your entry we are sorry and hope you have better luck next race. 

We have tried hard to minimise errors, should an error occur that affects the contest outcome we reserve the right to withdraw the prize. We do not accept responsibility for any errors in the information provided on our web pages or in the contest information.
