More competitions and fellowship news here - information for applying, deadlines approaching!


Here is a sampling of upcoming competitions and fellowships. Check below for information, links and deadlines. Let us know if you apply, and good luck!

1) Social & Business Co-Creation: collaboration for impact

A new European online competition designed to source, highlight and catalyze innovative cross-sector collaboration between the social, business and public sectors across Europe is announced today by Ashoka, the Zermatt Summit Foundation, Fondation Guilé, DPD and Boehringer Ingelheim. Winners will be announced at the prestigious Zermatt Summit on June 27, 2014.

Entries are now open for “Social & Business Co-Creation: collaboration for impact”, a competition hosted on the online Ashoka Changemakers platform. All social-mission organisations (e.g. NGO, association, not-for-profit, foundation, social enterprise), businesses and public institutions who work together to create change in Europe can apply. Europe has been facing an unprecedented level of unemployment, growing poverty, government deficits and low GDP growth. No player can address these challenges alone. Ashoka and its partners are looking for projects that illustrate new forms of interaction between the social, business and public sectors, with the aim of creating both social and economic value at scale.

Applications must be submitted online by the closing date of 10 April 2014. Finalists will be announced in May 2014 with the Zermatt Summit final pitch and judging in June 2014. The winners and finalists will attend the Zermatt Summit and the Awards Ceremony on 25-27 June 2014.
