A competition is under way to find talented female entrepreneurs, with entrants getting the chance to be mentored by top businesswomen and getting a cash investment for their business.

The Brand Amplifier competition, run by Lambeth-based communications agency, JP Creative, in partnership with Lambeth Council, is looking to find the best young female business talent.

Ten finalists will be selected to attend four workshops, where they can learn valuable tips on how to successfully grow their brand and business.

Three overall winners will earn a major cash prize.

Last year’s winner, Mildred Talabi, 26, from Streatham, urged people to get involved after success in the competition boosted her healthy eating company, Raw Food.
