Business Competitions

Oxford University 21st Century Challenge

Top Prize: £35,000 ($70,000)
Host: Said Business School (Britain)

As part of their business plans, entrants into Oxford's competition must consider the environmental and social benefits of their concept or product. For the second annual event the grand prize has more than doubled and attracted attention from teams in 23 countries. This year they also received 30% more submissions and gave the title a futuristic spin (instead of Business Plan Competition it's now known as the 21st Century Challenge).
