„Infinite Togetherness”: A Message of Empowerment from a CEC judge

For this year’s Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition, jury member Jenny Funston has created a unique piece of visual work: a hand-drawn mandala titled “Infinite Togetherness”.

The artwork consists of hundreds of carefully written words, forming a circular design that grows outward in structured rhythm. The words include empowering, forward-looking concepts such as infinite peace, infinite gratitude, infinite success, creativity, communication, and togetherness – along with terms from the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The message is clear: words shape how we think – and how we act. This mandala reminds us that entrepreneurship is not just about launching businesses, but about promoting values like inclusion, collaboration, sustainability and shared responsibility.

Jenny Funston is an Australian artist who regularly creates word-based mandalas and hosts creative workshops. For the CEC 2025, she has contributed this piece to reflect the collective energy and purpose behind the competition.

 

This mandala reminds us:

🌀 Entrepreneurship is not just about business – it's about intention.

🌀 Empowerment begins within.

🌀 Togetherness is infinite – and essential.

The Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition is about more than just submitting an idea – it's about growing it with purpose. Let yourself be inspired by this year’s theme of infinite togetherness, and take the next step: Work on your idea. Shape something that matters. Start something that moves others – and moves the world forward.

Submissions are open until July 11.
