Community Innovation Awards 18:30 - 20:30 on the 2nd March 2011

Community Innovation Awards Night (Invite only, contact us if you would like to take part). Hear from teams taking part in 'The Big Design Challenge', www.bigdesignchallenge.com - a practical way to address Cornwall's issues through community action, inspiring local people to come forward with challenges and design solutions that have potential to improve peoples lives. Six groups will present their ideas to In a Dragons' Den panel for feedback and a chance to get up to £10,000 support:

1. How do we reduce carbon emissions, generate renewable energy as a town, and generate revenue for the community?
2. How can we safeguard our smaller primary schools and the vital role they play in Cornish villages?
3. How can we make the Market House in St Austell a vibrant community space which is viable for the long term?
   1. How do we address the issue of unaffordable homes in Cornwall?
   2. How can we provide meaningful work experience for the increasing 2nd and 3rd generation of people who have never worked?
4. How can we unite distribution networks and marketplaces for local produce so they can rival the big supermarkets?
