EY Competition: Tell EY your big idea for your chance to win a share of $20,000!

Published 10 Aug 2016, 4:28 pm, by Sara Sullivan

Sometimes the biggest ideas come from the simplest of observations…

Have you got an idea that could become the next big thing? Then tell us about it! We’re not after sliced bread, reinventing the wheel or anything that would be prefixed with ‘i’. So open your mind and think about everyday things you see, use, hear, feel or interact with that fall short by the smallest of margins.

Four entries will be chosen as finalists to pitch to our panel of judges in front of an audience of 90, including EY partners and our people. This fine dining and networking evening will be held at the EY Melbourne office on 6 October 2016, with finalists battling it out to win a share of $20,000.

How to enter

Simply tell us in 100 words or less about what your idea is all about to secure your opportunity to pitch to the panel. You may enter as an individual or in a team of up to four people.

Entrants must be residing in Australia and due to complete their university degree between 2017 and 2020. EY will cover flight expenses and one nights accommodation for individual finalists and two from each team entry finalist who are based interstate.

100 words is all it takes.
