Projects should meet the Enactus UK project criteria and focus on building the creative skills of children and young people from underserved communities (up to the age of 30). Creativity is a broad subject, which is why the BIC Foundation supports Enactus projects that tackle creativity from different angles.

BACKGROUND
At the BIC Corporate Foundation, we are convinced that creativity is the driver of change and the cornerstone of progress; it is an integral part of a well-rounded education — one that inspires a brighter future for all.
The BIC Corporate Foundation believes in fostering creativity in all its forms — in everyone, everywhere, with no exceptions.
The BIC partner competition is open to applications from Enactus projects which empower young people from underserved communities to use creativity for a better, more sustainable world. In practice, this means developing projects which benefit the local community and will help children, youth and/or adults develop creative skills, such as:
Critical thinking
Change-making attitude
Communications skills
Problem-solving skills
Creative doing
