Social Business Creation (SBC) Competition

Ever heard of a business that's not just about the Benjamins? Welcome to the world of social business, where profit meets purpose. It's the kind of business that makes your grandma proud and your friends jealous. And guess what? There's a competition that's all about celebrating and nurturing these businesses. Enter the Social Business Creation (SBC) competition by HEC Montréal.

The SBC competition isn't your run-of-the-mill business contest. It's a global challenge that invites college students from around the world to put on their thinking caps, roll up their sleeves, and dive deep into the world of social innovation. The goal? To create businesses that not only make money but also make a difference. Think of it as the Olympics of social business, minus the sweat and tears (well, maybe a few tears of joy).

• Prizes: Oh boy, where do we start? From cash prizes that'll make your bank account smile to tuition waivers for the Mosaic Summer School, there's something for everyone. And by everyone, we mean institutions, projects, and individuals. The top dogs can bag up to $30,000 in cash. Not too shabby, right?
• Eligibility: Got at least one student in your team? You're good to go. Whether you're a freshman trying to make a mark or a senior looking for one last hurrah, this competition is for you.
