It’s always great to see so many different schools, businesses and charities coming together.  Penny Mortimer (pictured left) is a true genius coming up with ‘The Dragons’ Apprentice Challenge.  Creating links between business, schools and charities has done so much for not only raising money and passing on business skills to children, but has been a great networking and publicity machine.  Even filming from the side lines it has been great to be involved last year and I’ve got several business lead directly as a result of last years event.

But above all there is always a great element of fun involved, the teams providing so much imagination and a new approach to things we find every day.  Last year at the awards I think we all learnt a lot about presenting skills, and I for one have ditched my dry old PowerPoint slides after seeing the teams amazing graphical presentation techniques.

I was so impressed last year with the team films and video content used in the awards I’m sponsoring a competition for the best film this year.  Essentially to encourage young businesses to realise the potential and value of video marketing.

I’m going to be on hand to film parts of the opening event and subsequent meetings an provide advice, tips and reminders to th teams.

For teams wanting to take part and get access to stock footage, advice and tips and to ensure your film meets the guidelines follow the link below.
