They want you to share your best entrepreneurial ideas for boosting employment in your local community. In exchange, they will provide training and development opportunities for start-ups and the overall winner will be given the chance to partner with the City on projects that benefit jobseekers and provide long-term employment opportunities.

Challenge Details

  • The top 100 entrants will be notified by email by Saturday, 25 May 2019 and will be offered training and mentoring workshops to further develop their ideas.
  • They will be required to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges between Wednesday, 29 May – Saturday, 22 June and a number of entries will be eliminated from the competition each week.
  • The winner, alongside two finalists, will be announced at a gala dinner on Tuesday, 25 June.

Eligibility

  • The competition is open to all South African citizens who are in possession of a valid identity document.
  • All participants must be aged between 18 – 35 years old. Proof of identity and age will be required.

Evaluation Criteria

Every entry will be reviewed according to the following criteria:

  • Hydroponics business ideas (growing plants and herbs that do not rely on water or soil)
  • Mobile application development (using technology to help prevent online scams and theft of personal information)
  • Social development business ideas (upliftment projects that can increase employment and upskill local talent)
  • Water saving business ideas (innovative ways to preserve Cape Town’s water supply).

How to Enter

  • Create a three minute video explaining your idea, with as much detail as possible.
