Daily Mail Enterprising Young Brits, supported by Lloyds TSB, is a national competition to recognise young people who have turned their ideas into reality.

Part of the Make Your Mark - Start Talking Ideas campaign for Enterprise Week 2006, the competition is open to anyone aged 30 and under who has grown their own idea, exploited an opportunity, or developed a new way of doing things. The judges are looking for a balance of commercial flair and creativity, and will reward not just the quality of the idea, but also how you made it happen. This could be by starting up a business, developing a social enterprise, or doing something enterprising in order to help others.
