BIG Challenge gives YOU the opportunity to tackle the BIG issues that we face in the UK.

If you are aged 16 to 25 then you can apply for part of the £65,000 prize fund to tackle the Big Challenge theme for 2010. The Big Challenge Youth Leadership Team are looking for original project or campaign ideas that will have a big impact and inspire other young people. This is your chance to make a difference!

You can apply on your own or in a group with other young people and all applications will be be shortlisted by our Youth Leadership Team before going on to a final online public vote. If you win part of the Challenge fund, you will receive cash and support to help make your ideas a reality.

Last year 15 winners received funding and support and you can read about some of their stories on our blogs page.
