You Are Being Called On To Shape Australia's Future. 
Are You Up For The Challenge?
We're shining the spotlight on our young Australian entrepreneurs, who have a real passion and want to show us what they’re made of.  Are you a budding inventor? A quirky scientist? A creative artist? An aspiring engineer? A magical math mind? An ideas person? The possibilities are endless!

Entrepreneurs see opportunity everywhere. A problem or challenge is an opportunity to help people. Think of a business innovation or social solution that could make a difference to your community or to Australia. Entrepreneurs are self-directed creators of Value. That value can be measured in any number of ways;
  • Financial - Think Apple and Steve Jobs 
  • Social - Think climate change and Greta Thunberg 
  • Impact - Think Hireup and Jordan and Laura O’Reilly 
  • Happiness - Think Jokestand and Callaghan McLaughlin 
The goal is always for output of Value to be greater than the cost of inputs.

​Submit your 3 minute pitch by the deadline, Friday, October 2nd. Your pitch will be judged by our local panel of entrepreneurs and business professionals. 

​State winners will participate in our national competition on the 22nd of October. This will be live-streamed across Australia and provide viewers with the opportunity to vote for their favourite pitch. The crowd favourite wins $500!
