Be Your Own Boss

What will you be doing in ten years time?

Will you have committed yourself to a lifetime of corporate slavery?

Or will you BE YOUR OWN BOSS?

Warwick's very own entrepreneurship competition is running in weeks 5 and 6 of term two: imagine what it might be like to enter a lair filled with large fire-breathing lizards and you'll have some idea of what we are talking about.

There is £2000 prize money up for grabs for the most innovative ideas submitted to our team of expert judges, including:

• A Bank of America representative who can bring us the perspective of an experienced financial expert.
• A real fire-breathing lizard from that programme "on the telly"
• A professor to bring some academic rigour to our panel
• A consulting expert from Accenture
• A millionaire Business Angel

If you have a business idea or an existing business that you think deserves a prize, then write to us at:


Entries should be between 250-300 words and should include information on:

• Who are the entrepreneurs?
• What is the idea?
• What is your vision for the future of your business?
• Applications which include some projected profit/loss figures will be looked upon favourably

Need some inspiration?
