The Rushlight Awards 2008 are now open for entries.  The closing date for entries is 31 October 2008 and the Gala Awards Dinner will follow at the New Connaught Rooms, London on 22 January 2009.

The Rushlight Awards are a celebration and a promotion of the leading organizations throughout UK and Ireland which have furthered environmental technology and innovation in the fields of renewable energy, clean fuels, power generation, water, waste and pollution management.  The event has created a community whose main purpose is to assist in the development of cleantech and in the improvement of environmental standards.  This community is made up of the headline partners and sponsors, supporting and media partners, judges and special guests who together form a resource and a platform of unsurpassable cleantech expertise. 

If you have developed a technology or introduced any form of innovation associated with cleantech, then there will be at least one of the 27 direct entry categories which is available for you to promote your achievements.  These awards can be used to market your product, to celebrate and thank the team who have developed a technology or solution, to promote your brand as an environmentally responsible society member, to publicise the innovation so that others may adopt something similar, to launch a new initiative, to celebrate a particular achievement with a client, to access new sources of funding and to open your business to new market opportunities.

These awards stand out as the only UK and Ireland wide awards for technology, innovation and commerce that have advanced society's capabilities to live in a sustainable way. The awards are wholly independent, both in the form of judging and also in the context of not being connected with any particular journal or publication. Every organization has a fair chance to win a coveted award which will be widely publicized. Indeed, all entries are invited to be included as a one-page promotion at no cost in a complete book of entries after the event.

Headline partners and sponsors have the opportunity to present their brand and business to the

leading organizations in the environmental sector and the key players in the environmental debate.  With entrants looking for funding, advisers, partners, customers and business development opportunities, a number of introductions have been made following the 2007 event with great success.

This is a singular opportunity for entrants and sponsors alike to become part of a celebration of achievement and to demonstrate their true environmental credentials.
