The Stake is a new competition providing young people the opportunity to exploit their business and enterprising skills in order to win funding that can be used towards community or business ideas that will make a difference.

Funded by Channel 4 Education in partnership with Barclays Bank, The Stake aims to show you that business and social enterprise can be creative, fun, challenging and that good ideas and passion can be rewarded. The initiative also enables the wider public to decide how a total of £100,000 will be spent.

A maximum of six winners will be given up to £20,000 (minimum of £1,000), along with support from Barclays' mentors and youth engagement agency, Livity, to make their ideas become a reality between January and March 2012.

The money can be used to fund a variety of projects; for example a start-up business, a new school skate ramp or a one-off event.

Anyone aged between 16 and 21 years of age can submit ideas about how they would spend a share of the money.
