The Stake!! How would you spend £100,000?

The Stake is a "unique competition that gives people the chance to decide how £100,000 is spent AND allows bright ideas to turn into a reality."

Just came across this little competition to inspire a few a bright young minds out there.... Even if you can't think of anything to enter, it's still a fantastic little site to browse some of the ideas! http://www.thestake.co.uk/

"Using Facebook you can enter the competition by either pitching or backing an idea with the chance of making it a reality. Either way you will get one stake, which you can use to back your favourite idea – even if it’s your own! By completing a number of challenges you can increase the number of voting stakes you have (there are 6 stakes in total to be earned).

Ideas could be anything, from the heart warming to the hilarious, whether it’s a street wear start-up, a new school skate ramp or a major charitable donation. Expert advice will be given throughout the competition from experienced and savvy mentors.

The top 20 ideas with the most stakes by 23 December at 11.59pm will be shortlisted and judged by a panel from Channel 4 and Barclays.

Up to six winners will be announced in January 2012. Each winner will be given up to £20,000, along with support from Barclays’ mentors and youth engagement agency, Livity, to make their ideas a reality between January and March."
