We’re
always proud to get behind ventures which encourage and promote
creativity of Africans. It is in this spirit that we proudly announce
the British Council call for applications for the Young Creative Entrepreneurs Awards in Ghana.
Check out the details as stated in the Press Release:
The British Council in Ghana has
announced the launch of the Young Creative Entrepreneur (YCE) Fashion
and Design Award 2014 to foster business and collaborations between the
UK and other countries.
The 16 international brightest
emerging entrepreneurs from participating countries – including
Columbia, Russia, Nigeria and China – will be invited to take part in a
programme in the UK, from 10 – 17 September 2014, as they will be given insight into the UK’s rapidly evolving fashion and design sector.
To qualify for the programme,
applicants must own a young business in the Fashion and Design sector
with at least 2 years’ experience and no more than 7 years in business
in Ghana. They should be able to demonstrate entrepreneurial skills in
promoting the sector and to potentially be a future leader of the
fashion and design sector in the Ghana.
“We expect that the YCE Fashion and
Design Awards 2014 will be an ideal platform to encourage budding
entrepreneurs in the field of fashion and design by offering them
unparalleled business development opportunities in modern day fashion,
through enhancement of business ties and partnerships between the UK and
the Ghana.
“We are looking for people running
great fashion and design businesses, who know that the ability to manage
production and get product to market is just as important as fantastic
design skills. They are looking for people who are using interesting
materials, resources and business models to develop amazing products or
to get other people’s products to the marketplace; people who are
engaging with cultural and social issues and people who understand the
power of collaboration”
On completion of the programme,
candidates will be expected to actively engage in future collaboration
and business with UK-based companies, organisations and individuals that
they meet.
Application forms for the YCE Fashion and Design Awards 2014 are available online at https://www.research.net/s/YCEFashionDesignAward-Ghana. Deadline for the submission of application forms August, 21st 2014. To find out more, visit British Council Ghana facebook page or www.businessghana.com.
