Ambitious college students interested in real-world business ventures could be in with a chance of winning €35,000 in cash prizes and €30,000 in specialist advice.

In addition to winning the first place cash prize of €10,000, the winning team will also receive mentoring from Enterprise Ireland and the Local Office to develop the commercial viability of their idea.

For the first stage of entry, students need to produce a three minute video about your business idea due by Friday, 8 March at 5pm.

This is a chance to tell the judges about your great idea in a short and memorable video.

The top ten finalists will be announced on Friday 17 May.
