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.

The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
