Job ID: 34848166

I need a project manager that will do a mixture of research tasks and virtual assistance tasks that will assist in the setting up and management of a UK Small Business Competition.

First task is research. The research stages are (1) research 6 existing similar competitions in the UK (2) provide recommendations for how to run my competition including recommendations for

-eligibility criteria
-selection criteria
-questions for application form

I would like at least 3 of the competitions you research to be searching for UK black owned business start ups and the other 3 can be with no stipulation. All must be offering prize money or investment and looking for start-ups with less than £500k revenue.

Here is an example - https://www.enterprisenation.com/santander-x-uk-awards/?utm_medium=web&utm_source=en_website&utm_campaign=content_promotion&utm_content=santanderxukawardsmanager7#santander-eligibility

I need a summary of the competition each of them to include

A very clear reminder so there is no confusion: task to be completed with a multiple page report + spreadsheet/s with contact information for the (i) competitions you have researched and (ii) the businesses supporting black owned businesses.

A reminder the main aim of the report is to give suggestions on how to set up and run my competition to include (i) suggested questions (ii) process (iii) criteria based on the best practice found from the other business competitions. (iv) recommendations of organisations I can approach to promote the competition
