Upcoming Competition: Ben & Jerry’s Core Competition Launch
Could you be the next Ben & Jerry’s?
Are you a young, socially responsible entrepreneur who is creating a new model for sustainable business that will help make a difference in communities? If so, you might have a chance to win a €10,000 cash prize, mentoring from Ashoka and the chance to see your name on a tub of the popular ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s.
This is an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 34 with a passion for sustainability and changing the way business is done in Europe. Successful entrants will get the chance to pitch their business idea to a panel of industry leaders - including Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield, and representatives from Ashoka, VSO and the Fairtrade Foundation.
The first 100 applicants entering by 15 March 2012, will all scoop the equivalent of a year supply of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The final deadline for submitting competition entries is 15 April 2012. 25 entrepreneurial semi-finalists will be invited to present their ideas to the judging panel in London. The 15 finalists chosen by the panel will be whisked off to Uganda for the last stage of the program with development gurus VSO, where they will share social business ideas, live with vanilla farmers and help local development projects in their community. The five overall winners will win a €10,000 cash prize and will be featured on a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream tub. There will also be a ‘People’s Choice Award’, where the Join Our Core community will pick five winners who will each receive €1,000 in cash.
