Come on admit it, you could do with a bit of extra cash right now couldn't you? If so - and which entrepreneur would say no? - we discovered two competitions today which could well provide that financial injection you need.
The first, the Essence of the Entrepreneur competition, is pretty unique. Aimed at highlighting companies which are successfully embracing technology, the 20 winners, chosen by judges including Peter Jones of Dragons' Den and Claire Young of The Apprentice, will each get their photograph taken by celebrity fashion photographer Rankin. With the likes of Kylie on his list of past subjects, you'll be a sure of a good shot as this gallery of last year's winners shows.
And you don't just get a nice pic to give to your mum; oh no. The 20 winning images will be displayed at the prestigious gallery@oxo in London for all to see. And if that wasn't good enough, one champion will receive a cheque for £10,000! To take part, click here.
Another prize of £10,000 is on offer in this year's BT Business Grant competition. No celebrity photographer this time but if you're the winner, the cash is sure to come in handy! Enter here.
