The 2026 Ideas Challenge has been nothing short of incredible and it all comes down to YOU. πŸ™Œ

To every single person who took a leap and put their idea out into the world: that courage alone sets you apart. Prizes don't define potential, and if history tells us anything, it's that some of the best ventures started right here in this competition. 🌱
But the journey doesn't stop at Prize Giving.

We're hosting an Ideas Challenge Judges Feedback Night and trust us, this one's worth showing up for. Get face-to-face time with our judges, hear what they really thought about your idea, and walk away with the kind of clarity that turns a good concept into something unstoppable. πŸ’‘

DUE TO LIMITED SPOTS DEADLINE IS AT 12PM SATURDAY (23/05/2026) SO GET IN NOW.
