As part of our Let's Go Green campaign, the Mercury has teamed up with branches of the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society in Stamford, Bourne and Market Deeping to run Green Super School 2008.

We have £2,000 in prize money to offer schools who can prove they are the greenest around.

We want to know if your school is a great recycler of rubbish, saves energy, discourages the parent run, uses renewable energies such as wind and solar power, grows its own vegetables or has converted a redundant bit of land into a habitat for our local wildlife and flora and fauna.

We know lots of you out there are already doing lots to help the environment so enter our competition today to stand a chance of winning cash to help your projects along.

The Norwich and Peterborough has offered a top prize of £1,000 and two runners-up prizes of £500.

Mercury editor Eileen Green said: "Green Super School 2008 is a perfect way to encourage youngsters in the area to help the environment even more. The prize money on offer can go a long way to helping a variety of projects so we urge you to enter now."

Emily Gray, manager at Norwich and Peterborough's Stamford branch, said: "I was thrilled to be asked to take part in this campaign – as a keen recycler myself, I support any project that benefits the environment and raises awareness about 'going green'."

Cheryl Keal, manager at the Market Deeping branch said: "This campaign is a great idea. Teaching child-ren about the environment and involving them in projects like this can only be a good thing.

"The more that they learn, the more they can put in to practice."

Mandy Chatham, manager at the Bourne branch said: "I recycle at home, but there is always more that we can all do.

"It'll be good to see what ideas the children from the schools come up with, I'm sure that we will all learn something from them."

To stand a chance of winning, simply fill in the coupon stating your reasons why your school, pre-school or playgroup is the greenest around. Entries need to be in by May 30.

We will feature every school in the Mercury with a picture and a profile of what it is doing to help the environment. Once all entries are in, judges from the Mercury and Norwich and Peterborough will pick a winner and two runners-up.
