Applications now open for All-Innovate Competition Trinity 2021
Green Templeton College is once again participating in the University of Oxford’s All-Innovate Competition, run by the Oxford Foundry.
Applications for the Trinity 2021 round are now open.
As a partnering college, students from any department are invited to pitch an entrepreneurial idea or venture for a chance to win from the £20,000 prize funding pot, and receive support to help turn your idea into a reality, or build up your existing venture.
There are also a series of workshops available with expert mentors to help build new skills to enhance your career.
All-Innovate aims to encourage all students, regardless of discipline, to develop an entrepreneurial skill set and generate entrepreneurial ideas. Inclusivity and diversity are at the forefront of its ethos.
We look forward to hearing your great ideas!
How do I enter?
Contact naomi.benson@gtc.ox.ac.uk for the application form.
You will need to complete the application form and record a short two-minute video about your pitch in the first round.
This year, all applicants are offered the opportunity to attend virtual idea development workshops.
The deadline for Trinity applications is Sunday 6 June 2021.
What are the prizes?
This year, there are two competition rounds across Hilary and Trinity, so double the chance of winning!
Details about who won the Hilary term All-Innovate prizes can be found here.
In Trinity, there will be a top prize of £10,000 for the best idea and then two further prizes of £5,000 each for the best undergraduate and best graduate ideas.
How the competition works
Judges will shortlist their top two applications from each college. Feedback will be given to all entrants.
Important dates
- Sunday 6 June: Application deadline.
- Thursday 10 to Friday 11 June: Ideas bootcamp for all applicants.
- Monday 14 June: Selection bootcamp, final ten teams announced
- Thursday 1 July: Trinity final and winners announced
Your entry will be judged on the idea itself as opposed to how developed the idea is.
What are the judging criteria?
- What is the problem that your idea is helping to solve?
- How well does your idea address the problem?
- Strength of team
- Potential viability of the idea
- Quality of application
How do I attend a workshop?
All-Innovate is accompanied by Idea Exploration, Design Thinking and Creativity workshops with experienced mentors, to help build new skills and enhance careers.
These are optional workshops that also offer early stage idea support. Details of these workshops can be found on the Oxford Foundry website.
How can I find out more information?
Please contact naomi.benson@gtc.ox.ac.uk with any questions about the competition or how to submit your application via Green Templeton College.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
If you would like to join a local alumni group, let us know!
Our EMBA and MBA alumni joined us on Friday for our last outdoor afternoon tea of the year.
Alumni from across the globe reunited with old friends, made new connections, and shared their career journeys since Oxford.
Our host, Vice Principal Professor Jonathan Reynolds, welcomed the group and shared the latest developments at Green Templeton College. Most importantly, he reminded them that here, they will always belong.
We can`t wait to welcome more of our community this week for Meeting Minds. We still have a few spaces for alumni wanting to join our college-based events (link in the comments).
