TEN budding entrepreneurs have the chance to win £500 to help them make their idea a reality.
The Try It Awards for people in North East Lincolnshire are seeking ten people over the age of 16 who want to make a difference in their local community.
Run by Unltd and Grimsby's E-Factor, they offer the cash and support to help social enterprises become a success.
They are looking to hear from people who:
Have an idea for how to address a social problem affecting your community.
Want to take the lead in making your idea a reality.
Are an individual aged 16 years or over.
Need up to £500 cash and the support to make it happen.
A social enterprise is a type of business with the aim of improving human and environmental wellbeing, rather than profit for shareholders.
They can be non-profit or for-profit and formed as a co-operative, mutual organisation, social business or charitable organisation.
Each applicant must show their enterprise will be sustainable, address a local need and they have the determination to succeed.
The competition was launched in April and the deadline for applicants is Friday, May 31.
Applicants must also complete an expression of interest online at unltd.org.uk/expression-of- interest.
Mark 'other' under the 'How Did You Hear About Us' question and quote UNELincs.
Applicants will then be shortlisted and invited to attend an interview at E-Factor.
