3. Competitions: Ideas Competition & European Entrepreneurship Video Award
Ideas Competition:
Thank you to all the participants of the Ideas Competition last semester, the 3 finalist ideas will be announced later this week.
European Entrepreneurship Video Award:
While 60 % of Europeans have never thought about starting their own business, entrepreneurship is a good way to become a star. This is why the European Commission is launching the first European Entrepreneurship Video Award.
This idea is to show Europeans that they are the entrepreneurs Europe needs today and in the future. It is also an opportunity to reflect on entrepreneurship and the benefits of an entrepreneurial career.
The contest will promote innovation and creativity, and show that successful entrepreneurs, like successful filmmakers, are those who can think outside the box.
Connecting two worlds
The European Entrepreneurship Video Award 2009 builds a unique bridge between two worlds: cinema and business.
The challenge is to make creative and original short videos (between one and three minutes) in one of three categories:
- The entrepreneurial spirit
- Innovative Entrepreneurship
- Responsible Entrepreneurship
Target audience
Students of cinema schools and universities, business and management schools, members of business networks and associations, entrepreneurs and professionals.
All are invited to portray their ideas and own experiences in the field of entrepreneurship. The contest therefore offers a unique opportunity to European students, entrepreneurs and creative companies to get together and show in a creative way what entrepreneurship means to them.
For more information, please visit http://ec.europa.eu.
Deadline for entries is Tuesday 31 March 2009. -
