PHONE BRAIN

Fancy yourself as a bit of a business brain?

Win a cash award to help turn your ideas in to reality!

Come up with your own brilliant idea for a new phone-paid service that has a community or social benefit and WIN a cash award to help you develop your idea.

It can be something you and your mates can download to your phones – like an app that allows you to search your local area for volunteering opportunities – just like you do with ringtones, wallpapers, videos and games – or something you'd use your phone for – like giving a donation to charity using your mobile, such as calling TV voting lines, getting your horoscope or entering competitions. But it has to be a totally new, cool idea that, in some way, helps make the world a better place!

If you come up with a winning idea – as judged by PhonepayPlus and Live UnLtd, the social enterprise charity and a PhoneBrain partner - you will receive a cash award from Live UnLtd to help you develop your idea and turn it in to reality. Winners will be chosen across three different age groups11-19 (11-13, 14-16 and 17-19). And, as well as the cash awards, Live UnLtd will provide ongoing help and support to the winners in other ways.

So what are you waiting for? Get creating and enter the PhoneBrain Enterprise Competition!

Get Your Friends Involved

Many brains are better than one, so why not get your friends involved? Together you may just come up with a winning idea. You can enter the PhoneBrain Enterprise Competition as an individual or as a team (of up to four). Also, to help get your friends involved, ask your teacher or youth club leader to go to the 'teachers' or 'youth club leaders' area of phonebrain.org.uk and download free session plans and learning resources.
