OEP's Annual Youth Energy Celebration
Celebrating Schools' & Sponsors' Accomplishments
in Energy Education & Leadership
Schools from throughout Ohio describe their year-long energy activities by creating Energy Portfolios, which are judged by experts from the energy field. Five place winners are identified in each of these four age-group divisions:
Primary (grades K-3)
Intermediate (grades 4-6)
Junior (grades 7-8)
Senior (grades 9-12)
The Youth Energy Celebration, held in May in Columbus, celebrates EVERY school's efforts and identifies many special award winners. The first place winners in each category compete in NEED's national competition. Ohio has experienced excellent success in and greatly enjoyed trips to the national event.
