read moreThe VicHealth Physical Activity Innovation Challenge has been launched, looking for new ideas to get more Victorians physically active.
Aiming to take sport and physical activity in a new direction, VicHealth is encouraging those with ideas for new ways to encourage physical activity to pitch their idea for a chance to share in $400,000 of start-up funding to build their project and gain access to expert support.
With submissions now open, a VicHealth statement explains “we’re challenging you to provide a two minute video pitch as your initial entry.
“It’s easy ... just talk to a camera (or) even record yourself on your smart phone!
“The most promising entries will share in a pool of $400,000 start-up funding to test their big idea and make a real impact.”
The initiative also includes the ‘Innovation Challenge’ workshop series with the following events:
