Are you a student in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine or Uzbekistan who dreams about starting your own business one day? If so, then the Big Idea Challenge is exactly the opportunity you’ve been looking for! The competition – a key part of the British Council’s Creative Spark Higher Education Enterprise Programme – encourages you to develop a innovative new ‘startup’ and pitch it to the world. So whether it’s a mobile app, a new medical service or a national dance club (all past winners) we want to hear about your idea, and how it solves real problems and wows customers.

Want to submit an entry in the 2019 Big Idea Challenge as part of the British Council’s Creative Spark Programme? You’re in the right place. Use the form below to tell us about it! You’ll need to enter your idea in one sitting (it can’t be saved and returned to later). Please note that there are two pages to the entry form. And you need to provide us with a link to your Video Pitch too.
