$1,000 Prize to Score a Vegan Dining Hall!

All-vegan dining halls are all the rage on college campuses these days. The University of North Texas made national news last fall when it opened Mean Greens—a 100 percent vegan dining hall—in response to student demand for meat-free meals.

Then in January, the University of California—San Diego caused waves by opening Roots, an all-vegan eatery and lounge on campus.

Now, it’s your turn! peta2 is offering a $1,000 prize to the first student group that can improve a dining hall that currently serves meat at its college, by persuading it to go completely vegan. 

Are you up to the task? Here are the requirements*:

• The student group must be a registered student organization—only U.S. schools are eligible.
• The student group must gather at least 100 petition signatures from fellow students in support of the campaign and hold at least one in-person meeting with the dining-services staff.
• The dining hall must currently offer meat and serve at least 200 students each day, facts that the director of dining services must confirm to peta2 in writing.
• peta2 must also receive a written statement from dining-services staff confirming the change to an all-vegan dining hall menu by no later than August 13, 2013. PETA will announce the winner, if any, by August 16, 2013.

How you go about your campaign is up to you, but as usual, peta2 is here to provide you with all the resources you’ll need to be successful:

• Check out our “How to Veganize Your Cafeteria” page to learn how to persuade your school to improve its menu and to download a sample campaign pack.
• E-mail College@peta2.com to request free literature, stickers, DVDs, or a visit from our legendary campus outreach crew!

Think your group is the first one to cross the finish line? Contact us for verification.

Aaaaaand go!

*No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law. All entrants are bound by peta2’s contest terms and conditions. In the case of a tie, where two student groups achieve this goal on the same date, the student group that gathered more petition signatures will be declared the winner.
