Hello there!

This competition is in its 3rd year, and a number of alumni have successfully launched (and expanded) their ideas!!
There will be 2 levels of competition, and candidates may apply to any of the following categories:

The winners of each category will receive prize money , a valuable feedback from the local and regional Social Enterprise entrepreneurial network, as well as the opportunity to attend workshops conducted by Social entrepreneurs in the region.
