Young people are being challenged to get their business brains in gear for a new competition.

The Design a Sub Challenge, run by fast food firm Subway, tasks students from schools and colleges to create and market their very own sandwich.

And the winners will see their sub being sold in Subway stores across the region.

Teams of students are required to create a marketing campaign and business plan based around their new sub design, with successful campaigns considering target market, nutrition, competitors, pricing and promotion.

Teams shortlisted by the Subway judges will be invited to make a Dragon’s Den-style pitch to a panel of experts.

For more information on the Design a Sub Challenge, send an email to designasub@mckennatownsend.com.

The deadline for entries is Friday, December 1.
