Welcome to The ICT Youth Challenge 2008

 U GOT A HOT BUSINESS IDEA 4 US 2 C ?

"We're looking for innovative ICT ideas that either involve developing new technologies, or that use existing technologies, in a way that has never been done before!"

The ICT Youth Challenge competition is all about growing ideas. Ideas for exciting new businesses based on information and communication technology. If you've got an ICT idea, and you're up to 20 years of age and live in the Highlands & Islands area then we want to hear from you.

But it is also about teamwork. Even the very best business ideas need strong, well-balanced teams behind them if they are going to make it in the real world. So we're looking for the kind of people who can combine innovative thinking with a willingness to collaborate with others to bring their ideas to full realisation.

So that's the background, what else do you need to know?

Well, your team must have a minimum of three members and/or a maximum of five. They can be drawn from among your friends, your school or college class, your family, a youth or community club or other groups in the Highlands & Islands.
