Newspepper recently worked with Shell to produce this cool video covering the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 2011.

The event was held by Shell to showcase all the great performances and successes of young entrepreneurs this year.

The event also gave young entrepreneurs the opportunity to hear from business speakers and forge contacts for their own businesses.

The awards were split into two events, a day event held at London's Southbank Centre where young people could come and learn about business, and an evening award ceremony held at the Shell Centre.

The lucky winner was Michael Korn with the bunsiness, Kwicksceen. Michael took home the award along with the much-desired £10,000!

Take a look at our video above and see interviews with some of the finalists and the winner!

Last night on the banks of the river Thames at Shell Centre Michael was awarded the prestigious Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. This award has been recognising young entrepreneurial talent in the UK since 1982. It truly is a great honour to win.

But how different this could have all been had Michael pursued a career in the big corporate world, Michael said:

"I was offered jobs in the City after leaving university but decided they were socially useless and uninspiring, and I felt it was important to do something productive with my career and to be the master of my own destiny. This is a trend I see growing with lots of talented graduates who are applying to join KwickScreen."
