WA: Nominations Open NOW 
Entries Close: July 3, 2009
Tentative Competitions Dates: August 3-10, 2009

The Competition:

Business Icon™ is a prestigious competition created to develop and celebrate the brightest young entrepreneurs in Australia. The 6 day intense event will be held in August, and will take competitors through four carefully designed business and social challenges. Competitors will thus have the opportunity to test their creativity and problem solving abilities, as well as develop their teamwork and leadership skills, all whilst building resilience and tackling the business problems in an ethical and socially responsible way.

Like the US reality show The Apprentice, Business Icon will have its boardroom with high profile panel judges. These judges, who in the past have included the CEOS of Wesfarmers and Rio Tinto,  will decide which team will win a challenge and receive immunity and which individuals will be eliminated.

The 4 contestants competing in the final task will be pushed to their limits, having to present in front of a huge audience. Your reward will be Standing Out from the crowd of Australia’s finest young professionals and being recognized for that achievement in front of entrepreneurs, prominent business professionals, and public officials.

How well will you tackle these practical tasks focused on current business and social issues in your local community? Entry is open to anyone aged 18-25, and we welcome a wide range of students and professionals from all disciplines and industries.

What will you get out of it?

• The chance to challenge yourself in a fast paced business environment
  
• Practical experience to further develop your business and communication skills
• Networking opportunities with other motivated young people, sponsors, and our high profile judges, like the CEO’s of Wesfarmers and Rio Tinto
• Identify personal talents and areas
• A boost to self-confidence
• The chance to win fantastic prizes
• The chance to be THE WA Business Icon 2009!
