It will run through 20 December 2013.

Subway is inviting entrepreneurs to take part in the second round of the virtual Subway Global Challenge.

The Subway Global Challenge is a global online competition that offers a way for aspiring entrepreneurs to learn more about business development and entrepreneurial skills.

It is a business simulation game that will allow players to build, train, operate, and promote their own virtual Subway restaurants.

The Global Challenge is composed of a series of six challenges, which includes building a virtual store, creating Subway Subs, and planning a marketing campaign.

Subway will be selecting three winners who will be flown to Connecticut, USA, to meet with company leaders and will receive guidance and advice on starting a Subway franchise, and on global and franchising topics.

The winners will also be heading out to New York and Washington to get a glimpse of the restaurant operations.

“The Subway Global Challenge is about encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit and celebrating the Subway brand by sharing our iconic startup story, challenges and successes as a business,” added Brian Tap, Chief Executive of Subway® Systems Australia and New Zealand.
