The Federation of Indian Animal
Protection Organisations is inviting applications for the most unique idea on an
animal welfare project.. This is all set to be launched
through a competition known as Dragon’s Den which is going to be conducted
during FIAPO’s India for Animals conference to be held from November 16-18,
2012 in Goa.
The India for Animals
Conference (IFA) brings all animal welfare organisations and activists together
at a national level and is a celebration of animal protection across India. Those interested can
share their ideas by mailing them to ifa@fiapo.org.
Only a total of 4 participants will proceed to the
final round after initial screening by a committee. The participants selected
for the final round will then be helped by FIAPO to pitch their ideas to a panel
of 4 judges for 15 minutes each.
A monetary award will be given to the winner
of the competition to help the idea become a reality. FIAPO considers this a
unique opportunity for creative and relatively fresh minds to be amidst India’s
most experienced advocates for animal protection.
Other than the cash prize,
the exposure and learning that will be gained is of significant importance. Varda
Mehrotra, Program Director, FIAPO says; “This is a brilliant opportunity for
those who have a wonderful idea but don’t know how and where to put it to
practice. We invite anyone who has ever had any wish to help animals in their
own way to come up and tell us how they would want to do it”.
