The Great Power Race is a clean energy competition between students in China, India and the United States, an "open-source" campaign where participating teams are welcome to connect with other teams across the globe - collaborate, form partnerships, share information and ideas.  Presently, there are 965 competing campuses, 1008 people registered, and 671 projects going on.

From September 1 to November 12, these teams are working on climate and clean energy solution projects to earn points. The teams earning the most points in this phase will enter a final judging round from November 12 to 24.  Judging will then take place with an award ceremony broadcast from Cancun, Mexico (and the international climate conference) sometime between December 4 and 7.
