Bebo: Big Think Competition

 

Bebo are looking for illuminating, practical ideas on the three C’s – climate change, crime and careers. Whether it’s working better with local police, an ingenious initiative to cut your street’s carbon footprint or a suggestion to help tackle youth unemployment or bullying, they want to know what’s in your head that could make Britain better.

Send in your idea, concept or solution to Bebo’s Big Think. Your competition entry should be approximately 500 words. The innovators behind the top six ideas short listed will be whisked to London to take part in a one-of-a-kind workshop run by experts. You’ll learn how to amp up your idea for maximum impact, before pitching it to a high-profile semi-final panel headed up by none other than the Cabinet Office Minister, with responsibility for the 2012 Olympics, – Tessa Jowell! The six semi-finalists will then be whittled down to three winners, who’ll present their plan, in person, to members of the British Cabinet. Who knows from there? You could be walking the corridors of power with the help of
government to get your idea off the ground. We can smell the power from here.

So, it’s time to get thinking!

The closing date for sending in your idea for the opportunity to be selected as a short listed-winner is the 15 November 2009.
