Opportunity knocks, not once, not twice but thrice!
August 13th, 2008 by dianaIn the doom and gloom of the credit crunch the world can seem like a pretty unfair place. (Boo) But all is not lost! (Yay!). Because, like the sweaty gold medals clasped in the hand of Michael Phelps, opportunity abounds. Have a look…
Opportunity number 1: A chance to be the next Irvine Welsh
Think you’ve got what it takes to be the next Hunter S Thompson, William S Boroughs or even Oscar Wilde? Well, Penguin Books are looking for literary young types to become editors of their online community site, Spinebreakers.
So if you’re interested in literature and would love the chance to create short stories, blogs, art or videos to be seen by millions online, click here to find out more.
Opportunity number 2: Got a business? Get some money.
Ha. Bet that drew you in! Seriously though, if you have a business that’s been trading for at least two years and you have a disability, Sir Stelios (of Easy Jet fame) wants to give you a bit of a cash injection. Which is really very nice of him.
Sir Stelios is on the hunt for the most innovative and enterprising start-ups and will be able to offer support and advice as well as tidy sum of £50, 000. So, if you own a start-up and have disabilities click here to find out how you could enter, also check out this for a bit of inspiration.
Opportunity number 3: The chance for your bright green ideas to sparkle
The very nice people at Unltd and The Guardian have joined forces (Like Captain Planet and his Planeteers!) to give anyone with a bright green idea the chance to bring it to life. UnLtd and The Guardian will give awards totaling around £400,000 to individuals who want to run innovative environmental projects in their local communities or on a larger scale. This is clearly v.good news, so if you have some green-y ideas get clicking. You and the world will be glad you did.
Good Luck!
