Entries close at the end of today for the 2008 Manx Executive Challenge.
Billed as the premier development opportunity for young leaders, the closing date was extended a week due to demand.
Over eight months teams from the Island's private and public sectors will tackle projects relating to the Manx economy or social infrastructure, before producing a report which will be assessed by judges and an audience including senior political figures.
The competition is organised by the Chartered Management Institute.
