A challenge to find the business leaders of the future has been launched by Oxford University.
The Business Plan Competition is open to all entrepreneurs who want to turn a bright idea into reality.
Previously it was only available to students and those within the university but, this year, the competition has been extended to include would-be tycoons across the county.
Judges will look for business plans that make use of design or technology.
Fiona Reid, deputy director of Oxford Science Enterprise Centre, at the Said Business School, said: "We're confident this competition will provide a springboard to launch some world-beating innovations into the marketplace."
