The Big Ideas Youth Challenge competition is all about growing ideas. Ideas for exciting new businesses. If you've got a software / ICT idea, and you're 19 or under and live in the North East of England then we want to hear from you.

Although the best prize available in the Youth Challenge is the ‘whole experience’, our supporters generously donate fantastic prizes throughout the competition. For this year’s competition, we anticipate a high number of entries and are working with a wide range businesses to develop new opportunities and prizes for those involved. In addition the best individual county applications will also be profiled, and recognised throughout the course of the competition.
In the past, prizes have included: Heat reactive mugs, music vouchers, USB memory sticks and even laptops! There are also trips to visit BT and Microsoft in their UK offices.
Your team must have three to four members. They can be drawn from among your friends, your school or college class, your family, a youth or community club or other groups in the North East of England.
