Competition Prize Conditions
Winners of the Case Competition are eligible to receive a reward of €1,000, which is granted only if the winning business idea is officially implemented.

The funds are awarded exclusively to the registered business entity created from the idea, not to individual participants.
The €1,000 amount must be used solely for legitimate business expenses aligned with the approved plan.
Distribution of prize funds will occur only after the business entity is legally established and a formal agreement is signed with the program organizers outlining permissible use of the funds.

The remaining balance must also be paid in full by the designated deadline.
