About this event
The Leeds City Challenge competition gives Leeds Beckett students and alumni (within 2 years of graduating) the chance to tackle real challenges faced by our city.
Have you spotted a problem in Leeds?
Put on your creative hat and submit your ideas! Entrepreneurs solve big problems, and we can’t wait to see how you’d help shape the future of our beautiful city.
Throughout the competition, you’ll take part in a series of workshops designed to support you in developing your idea, building confidence, and preparing to pitch. You don’t need a fully-formed business, just an idea you’re passionate about exploring.

- Mentoring and support to refine your idea
- A chance to pitch at the Final Awards Ceremony
- £10,000 seed funding to be won!
