Where could your talent take you?

Have you got what it takes to be the best? British Airways’ Great Britons programme is looking for talented individuals and groups who need help to get to the top – and the prizes are flights all over the world

Preparations are well underway for the start of The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in July. An amazing sporting spectacle, it will see 26 Olympic sports played by 10,500 athletes in 34 venues, and 20 paralympic sports played by 4,200 athletes in 21 venues. To mark this celebration of sporting excellence, British Airways, the official airline partner of the London 2012 Games, has launched its own search for excellence called Great Britons. Every UK citizen resident in the UK and aged 16 and over who needs support to develop their talent in their chosen field can apply.
