Wimborne-based agency, RT Media, will be responsible for branding the PEER 1 Hosting UK Business Speaker of the Year 2012.
The company piloted the competition in 2011 with the UK Speechwriters' Guild. The result is that in 2012, PEER 1 Hosting, an international webhosting company based in Southampton, has offered £5,000 in prizes to encourage the country's leading business gurus to show off how they can inspire an audience to do great things.
Authors, life coaches, academics and entrepreneurs, with a gift for public speaking, are being urged to come up with 'an inspirational business message for our times'.
Up to 24 finalists will be invited to Southampton on Friday 27 September for auditions. The day will end with a 'Grand Final' in The Hub Theatre in Southampton, hosted by Business Solent.
"The UK Business Speaker of the Year is a really exciting opportunity to combine some great ideas with fresh, original thinking. We are delighted to be involved in the competition for the second year running and I'm looking forward to judging some fantastic business speakers." said Ross Thornley, MD of RT Media, who will be one of the three X-factor-style judges giving marks for style, content and inspiration.
The winner will receive £2,000 and get £1,500 of PR support from a top London agency to boost their career as a professional speaker. Second prize will be £1,000 cash and the third prize £500 cash.
If you fancy you can present as well as Steve Jobs, you need to send in a 60 second video audition together with a written pitch and a short profile by the 27 August 2012.
