CLYNK is urging schools located in towns within a 20-mile radius of CLYNK drop locations (Maine and New York) to participate. The Challenge is offered in both Maine and New York, and schools will only compete against schools in their state. First ($1,500) and second ($1,000) prize will be awarded per state for schools who collect the highest number of redeemable containers. Third place ($500) will be awarded per state for schools that put forth extraordinary effort, as identified by CLYNK. Cash prizes are awarded in addition to the redemption funds and bonus match.
