Welcome to The Big Ideas ICT Youth Challenge

"We're looking for innovative ICT ideas that either involve developing new technologies, or that use existing technologies, in a way that has never been done before!"

The Big Ideas ICT Youth Challenge competition is all about growing ideas. Ideas for exciting new businesses based on information and communication technology. If you've got an ICT idea, and you're between 11 and 19 years of age and live in the North East of England then we want to hear from you.

But it is also about teamwork. Even the very best business ideas need strong, well-balanced teams behind them if they are going to make it in the real world. So we're looking for the kind of people who can combine innovative thinking with a willingness to collaborate with others to bring their ideas to full realisation.
