Create (part of Inverness College's Highland Centre for Enterprise & Innovation) have launched this year's Business Idea Competition for would-be entrepreneurs in the Highlands & Islands, Perthshire and Moray.
"At CREATE we want to help all learners to acquire an enterprising mind-set. We seek to inspire and support students to realise their potential and to develop entrepreneurial behaviours and skills for business and self employment. The UHI Business Idea Competition is an ideal opportunity for anyone who has an interesting and innovative business idea.
The competition is open to everybody aged 16 or over living in the Highlands and Islands, Moray or Perthshire. It is very straightforward to enter, with only four questions to answer.
If you have more than one idea why not submit them all? You may submit as many applications as you wish, however you can only save and submit one application at a time using the on-line form.
Completed entries must be received by the judges by 26 October 2011 to be eligible to win a share of the £7,000 prize fund.
Shortlisted candidates must be available on the Finals Day, Wednesday 16 November 2011, to come to Inverness College UHI to discuss their idea with our panel of expert judges and attend the prize giving event."
The very simple application form can be found at at www.createhighland.com
