The winners of the 1st Year Mini Company competition, Local Fiasco, will represent Stratford College in Croke Park at the Dublin Finals in March 2011. This will involve setting up a shop, writing a Business Plan, selling their products and communicating their ideas to four judges who will come from major Irish companies. Hopefully Local Fiasco can surpass the amazing acheivement of last year's representatives from Stratford College who were awarded a tropy for the design of their shop and the originality of their products.
