Claire Baker was a second year ceramics undergraduate when she won £1,000 to develop her Prayer Pot business. She followed that up by being Bath Spa University's entry in the regional business plan competition between six universities.
Two final year students - Daniel Parker and Sarah Thomas - won the Merit Award of £500 for their business idea, which set up a fair-trade fashion brand, linked to music gigs and t-shirt throw-downs, which carries ethical and compassionate messages to society.
