Durham Blueprint Competition

The Blueprint business plan competition has been running for ten years. Each of the five Universities in the North East run their own enterprise and business start-up events and competitions which then feed into the regional grand final, which this year is taking place in September.

The competition has generated a huge interest within the business community in the region and thousands of pounds of cash and in-kind support are on offer each year.

Prizes

Cash prizes will be awarded for the best business ideas submitted via a business plan by current registered students (including recent graduates) from Durham University, studying any degree discipline.
