Save this plastic bottle and win £500!

Did you know that 1.8 million plastic water bottles are added to the UK’s landfills each year? 

If you would like to change the fate of a water bottle (and win £500 in the process!) enter Innovation Challenge. 

Your challenge is to come up with an ingenious idea to add value to the water bottle, take a snap on your phone to showcase your idea and tweet it to us @CardiffMetEnt using #BYOB and #InnovationChallenge.

You can demonstrate this ‘value’ in many different ways, for example:
 
● Financially by creating revenue from the water bottle
● Creatively by developing an artistic idea
● Community-related by developing an idea that has community benefits
● Environmentally by developing an idea that has environmental benefits
● Comedy by developing a humorous idea
 
The most innovative idea will win £500. You can enter as a group or as an individual. Collect the water bottle from our office (2nd floor of Cardiff School of Management) or visit us at the Be Your Own Boss Roadshow on Tuesday 30th September in Llandaff iZone (Main Reception area) and Thursday October 2nd at Cyncoed Main Reception.​​
