SUBMIT YOUR IDEA FOR THE LARGEST COMPETITION FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS (DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2019)

18. April 2019.

The “Razlivalište” Association, which deals with the development of social entrepreneurship among young people in Serbia, is implementing the Social Impact Award educational program, which is being implemented in 20 countries throughout the world.

If you have an idea that can contribute to solving a social or environmental problem, and are between 15 and 30 years old, the Social Impact Award call is a great opportunity for you.

If you submit your idea by June 1, 2019, there is a possibility to get a training course, a mentor and financial support, which will all help you put your idea into practice. 

The Social Impact Award is the largest youth educational competition on the topic of social entrepreneurship. It is organized in 20 countries on three continents, while the competition is organized in Serbia by the “Razlivalište” Association, which is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 with the idea of familiarizing young people in Serbia with social entrepreneurship, creating an encouraging environment and supporting the development of youth entrepreneurship.   

 

The submitted ideas will be evaluated by an expert jury, which will select 10 finalists. The teams that enter the finals of the SIA competition will spend three months of intensive work on their projects, and will get a training course and a mentor, while three best ideas will receive the awards. 

The Social Impact Award and its associates provided a € 1500 reward for all winning teams, which they should use to start their businesses. The winner's award includes mentoring support and a trip to Ukraine at the World Social Impact Award summit, which will be attended by winners from all countries where the program exists.

The Social Impact Award call is open until June 1, 2019

In the meantime, "Razlivalište" will organize a caravan of free workshops in Serbia, as well as a competition.  All workshops are completely free and everyone can participate in them. The workshops will be on social entrepreneurship and all participants will be able to learn how to develop their thoughts from ideas to businesses, how to determine target groups, make business plans, contact donors, etc.

Now you can realize your ideas, help the society and become a social entrepreneur!

Sign up and by entering the finals of the competition, you will receive a three-month period of incubation, during which you will improve and develop your idea with mentoring support and workshops, and if you win one of the first three places, a valuable prize of 1,500 € start-up capital, continuation of the mentoring program and free participation in the world SIA summit in Kiev, will be yours, too!
