WHAT  IS  THE  AIM?

The aim is to encourage worthwhile improvements in the efficiency and
affordability of solar air conditioning for average sized residences,
in the climate conditions of the North West of Western Australia.

Lower power bills for private householders in air conditioned houses
in the North West will be the eventual outcome from encouraging new
developments.

WHAT  ARE  THE  PRIZES?

For the Finalists
Cash Grants A$5,000 each will be awarded to up to five finalists, and
they will be eligible for the main prize.

For the Winner
The selected winning proposal will be awarded the additional main
prize of A$25,000 cash.

The Winner will also enjoy publicity for their products, their
businesses, their skills, and significant prestige and exposure.

As the real prize is the potential for further commercialisation, the
winner will in addition be paid to install their proposed system in a
nominated
location as a demonstration, provided it meets the required
performance standards, including reliability, and is within a
reasonable cost limit.

Alternatively,  a research or development grant will be available for
work to be done in Western Australia.

Patent rights, if any, will remain with the inventor.
