Channel 4 Education, in partnership with high street bank Barclays, is launching The Stake. A competition that provides 16-21 year olds across the UK the chance to decide how £100k of real money is spent. The Stake will inspire you to use your business and enterprising skills to win a slice of £100,000 prize pot to support community or business ideas that will make a difference.
Neil Westwood, friend of icould and Managing Director of Dragons’ Den success story Magic Whiteboard, gets involves by explaining how you can get involved in business and gives some top tips on how to think up that prize winning idea:
The Stake aims to show young people in the UK that business and social enterprise can be creative, fun, challenging and that good ideas and passion can be rewarded.
If you are aged between 16 and 21 years you can submit your ideas about how you would spend a share of the money, be it a start-up business, a new school skate ramp, one-off event – or anything in between.
To increase your chances of winning, you will need to carry out a series of online challenges including winning public support and setting out financial plans, to show your idea can be a success.
