Win £10K with IE8 & the Life Academy plus some Net Set Research

The Internet Explorer 8 team have set up the Life Academy site to inspire 18-25 year olds to come up with an idea for the chance to win £10K to make that idea come alive.

“Internet Explorer is constantly improving to help you socialise with your friends, work smarter and make life easier. Now we’d like to give you the opportunity to bring your own ideas to life and help shape the future.

Internet Explorer 8 Life Academy is a competition which celebrates the Internet, its wealth of possibilities and lets you explore your potential.

From the environment to the arts, simply tell us your idea for making a difference in the world. If you impress our judges you could turn your idea into reality. And, just like Internet Explorer 8, we’ll help you on your way to achieve the best possible results.”

The team did some in-depth research into the “Net Set” generation and found:

• 84 per cent of those surveyed think that the internet makes life better
• 33 per cent of the ‘Net Set’ say their greatest worries today are money related
• 68 per cent of all young Brits already have or would participate in online campaigns or petitions
• Four out of five people surveyed see the internet as the place to go for inspiration and knowledge
