From 10 to 12 August 2026, BLIEVE hosted its first open poster design challenge at ACET, Bengaluru. Students from all branches were invited to create an original poster that captured the spirit of entrepreneurship — belief, creation, and inspiration. The challenge ran for three days, giving participants time to ideate, design, and submit their best work.
The format was simple on purpose. A ₹69 entry fee kept the field honest, the brief was open enough that no two entries looked alike, and every submission had to answer one question: what does entrepreneurship mean on this campus?
Winners were announced on 13 August 2026, with a ₹1,000 first prize and a ₹500 second prize. More important than the prizes was what the challenge proved — that when you give students a concrete brief and a real deadline, they show up. Entries came from branches that had never participated in a BLIEVE activity before.
Design was a deliberate choice for our first challenge. Before we ask students to pitch ventures or write business plans, we wanted to start with something anyone could enter — no coding, no capital, no co-founders required. Belief, it turns out, looks good on a poster.
The next challenge is in the works, with bigger prizes and bigger ideas. Follow @blieve_ecell to hear about it first.
