As you may have guessed from the previous blog post, the competition season is upon us.
This year in addition to the long-running Peter Farrell Cup Entrepreneurship Competition, the CIE is working in partnership with the Centre for Social Impact to present the Social Entrepreneurship Prize.
The Social Entrepreneurship Prize competition, sponsored by Peter Kazacos, provides university students with the opportunity to bring their social entrepreneurship idea to life by pitching to a panel of experts from the Sydney social entrepreneurship community.
Both competitions are open to all currently-enrolled students at UNSW or other Australian universities, at either the undergraduate or post-graduate level.
While each competition has a distinct "flavour" and orientation, the CIE assists students to prepare by offering a series of workshops to build contestants' key foundational skills.
Teams submit a business plan and finalists are selected to pitch their ideas “live” to the judging panel. Finalists will be ranked on the idea and its market viability and also presentation and skill at answering the judges’ questions.
Students entering any of the competitions are encouraged to attend the workshops and learn in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.
The first workshop is the Mix n' Match evening, held from 6-9 PM on July 28 in the ASB Lounge. Food and drink will be served and registration is required. Click here to register.
Check out the Events page on the CIE website; we'll be posting upates, information, and FAQs as the workshops come up.
Looking foward to an exciting competition season, and we'll see you on the 28th!
