Organized by Impact Entrepreneurship Group, Impact Microcredit is an innovative entrepreneurial competition open to high school students across Canada.
Each school is allowed to enter one team of 3-5 students. Teams are given $100 and one week (in October) to generate as much revenue as possible from that $100. Of course, there are rules - all activities must be legal, etc., but teams are challenged to be innovative and creative with their entrepreneurial projects.
Half of all monies raised/generated go to a microfinance institution and half to charities chosen by competing teams.
Sponsored by RBC and the British Columbia Innovation Council, teams are eligible to win up to $10,000 in scholarships and seed funding.
Deadline is March 27, 2009.
