We know applications are hard – no matter how many you may have written one, it can still be difficult to explain your ideas to other people.
But we’ve seen quite a few submissions now, so we wanted to share some of our learnings and tips on what we think can make a really good application!
Some practical tips for the road...
- Use the resources on the website – the are free and designed to help you come up with an idea e.g. worksheets
- Download the word doc version and share it with your team so you can all start to work on your answers
- Assign sections to different team members and put this in the teamwork section of your application
- Research your idea early on – as simple as googling it will help you find out if others have also come up with it
- And remember each section of the form has tips and guidance to help you so make sure to read these!
