WHAT IS BIG CHALLENGE?
BIG Challenge gives YOU the opportunity to tackle the BIG problems that face our communities.
After a fantastic first year, Big Challenge 2 has arrived! If you are aged 16 to 25, you have the
chance to apply for part of the £60,000 prize fund to tackle this year's challenge. The theme was
chosen by the Big Challenge Youth Leadership Team, who worked together to agree
on a theme that they feel is meaningful to young people across the UK.
Now the team is looking for original campaign ideas that will have a big impact. This is your chance
to make a difference!
You can apply on your own or in a group with other young people and applications can be submitted
in a number of formats. 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 money to cover the costs of your campaign
and support and mentoring to help transform your ideas to reality.
Last year 11 winners received funding and support and you can read about their journeys on
our blogs page.
