The Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards (external link) are designed to find a generation of role models, whether they are new businesses, young entrepreneurs or potential entrepreneurs. They aim to create new ventures to boost the UK economy and to recognise those who are successful and on the brink of success.

The Awards are also looking for a special person or business that has overcome obstacles and succeeded 'against the odds'.

There is a total of £115,000 available in prizes. Individual prizes vary, from £2,500 to £20,000, together with the offer of professional services from the sponsors.

The Awards are open to businesses, entrepreneurs or social enterprises based in Merseyside, North Cheshire, North Wales, Shropshire and the Wolverhampton area.
