• Can you think of something that has made a difference to the local community and improved the economic prospects of the region you work in?
• Can you follow in the footsteps of last year’s National winner: West Kilbride Craft & Design Town?

Then why not participate in the Enterprising Britain 2007 competition? Now in its third year, Enterprising Britain is a nationwide competition run by the Department of Trade and Industry in conjunction with the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) and Devolved Administrations, to find the most enterprising town, city, place or area in the UK.

Want to get involved? The competition is looking for the town, place, city or area that will be named the champion of UK enterprise. This may be anything from a town that has introduced specific ways of reducing unemployment in the area, to an individual project which has gone back to basics and introduced an innovative enterprise strategy to overcome a challenge.

The winner will receive a commemorative prize such as a plaque or dedicated statue for the community, and also national and international recognition for their achievements.

Information is available at: www.sbs.gov.uk/enterprisingbritain  For application forms, contact the Scottish co-ordinator, Gillian Grant, at: gillian@opalgen.co.uk

Closing date for Scottish entries is Thursday 12 April.
