It's that time of year again: time for entrepreneurs to put their business plans to the test in front of a panel of judges.
This time, it's the annual Go Succeed: The Ultimate Pitch competition in Derry, Northern Ireland, which is looking for business ideas that "have really unique and innovative business ideas," per the chief executive of the city's Chamber of Commerce.
The winner will receive a cash prize of up to $5,000, as well as support from the council and other sources, reports the BBC.
"We know there are so many people in our City and District who have really unique and innovative business ideas and we are looking forward to seeing them put their ideas forward at the Go Succeed Ultimate Pitch Award," says Anna Doherty.
Previous winners have included an 18-year-old who pitched an e-cig business and a 21-year-old who came up with an app that allows you to order online from your phone, reports the Irish Times.
