STAGE TUBE: Find Time for Broadway Green Alliance's College Green Captain Prize!

The Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) has launched a new contest to honor and reward College Green Captains for creating greener productions on college campuses. Winners will have brought innovative, creative, or widely-applied greening and energy-efficient methods into the design or production of theatre at their campus.

The winner of the BGA College Green Captain prize will receive a pair of tickets to the Broadway or touring production of either Wicked or The Lion King, along with a professional backstage tour of the production, and a meeting with a current Broadway Green Captain, subject to availability. (Past Broadway Green Captains have included: Bryan Cranston, Alan Cumming, Blythe Danner andAudra McDonald.) The posters of finalists will also be displayed at the BGA booth at the U.S. Institute of Theater Technology Conference in Cincinnati in March.

To apply for the prize, College Green Captains should submit a one-page summary statement explaining their work to make greener theatre. They must also submit a pdf of an 18" x 24" cardboard poster that showcases the best elements of their greening program. Additional materials can include a 3-5 minute video or up to 10 pages of written reports or spreadsheets documenting the greening. Photographs with captions explaining the program are encouraged.

Entries are due by March 6, 2015. Entries, including large files, can be sent to green@broadwaygreen.com . Any student or faculty/staff member interested in the contest and looking to make their theatre greener is encouraged to volunteer to be a College Green Captain, and sign up at http://www.broadwaygreen.com/college-green-captains/. All prize applicants must be College Green Captains.
