30 May 2022
Concejalía de Empleo.

The City Council awards 4 prizes for a total amount of 5,000 euros, to which is added a new award from the Rotary Club Benidorm endowed with 2,000 euros

Benidorm City Council has extended the deadline for submitting proposals to the Entrepreneurial Ideas Contest, a contest that has been resumed this year and that rewards the best viable business projects that "help to energize and diversify the productive fabric of the city", as the Councilor for Employment and Local Promotion recalled. Specifically, the Local Government Board has approved today to extend the initial deadline until June 17, "thus favouring the participation of the largest possible number of proposals in this call and, in turn, expanding the possibilities that they are making themselves known and develop.”

Gómez has stressed that this initiative "contributes to promoting an entrepreneurial culture and presenting self-employment as a viable option for job placement"; and has indicated that “as in previous editions, the Employment and Local Development Agency has for this contest the support of business entities and institutions committed to entrepreneurship such as the Rotary Club Benidorm, the Valencian Institute of Tourism Technologies (Invat•tur), the European Center for Innovative Companies (CEEI-Elche), the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of the Marina Baixa (MEMBA), and JOVEMPA-Marina Baixa”.

According to the rules of the Contest, the proposals can be submitted electronically at the Electronic Office of the City Council (https://sede.benidorm.org), through the General Registry section. Only one project may be submitted by a natural or legal person, and all proposals will be assessed in the first phase to verify that they meet the requirements established in the bases.

In a second phase, the jury will evaluate each of the projects, assessing the following criteria: innovation, economic viability, technical feasibility, knowledge of the potential market and development of the activity in Benidorm. The projects presented by people registered in Benidorm will have a starting score in this phase, as will the groups in which at least half of their members meet the registration requirement.

In the third and final phase, the selected ideas will be presented to the jury, which will assess both the presentation and the originality of the project.

In this edition of the Contest, the City Council has planned to award two prizes and two-second prizes for a total amount of 5,000 euros. Specifically, the best business idea will receive a prize of 2,500 euros; while a 2nd prize valued at 1,500 euros is foreseen, as well as two-second prizes of 500 euros for the project with the greatest social responsibility and with the greatest tourist promotion, respectively. In addition, any of the first two prizes will have the option of being able to start at l'Espai Coworking of the Employment and Local Promotion Agency. Likewise, the winning idea will have a free year as a member of Jovempa; and the winning projects lent by women, to MEMBA.

Added to these awards is a newly created award, the 'Batiste Fuster' Award, granted by the Rotary Club Benidorm, endowed with 2,000 euros. This award will go to the project that best contemplates the aspects of accessibility, solidarity, quality, sustainability, innovation and creativity.
