Give us your best Blockchain based idea and a working proof of concept and "win" a visit to the bank and a 6 week internship (if you are eligible). Is it me or that does not sound really great?

I guess this is their equivalent of the Federal reserve bank? I could see it as valuable for someone who might want to make some potentially valuable connections among regulators. Maybe especially students that might want to make a future career in policy/govt in that country and combine it with their love/knowledge of Digital currencies. At least I can see myself being open to an equivalent offer from the Feds

The Bank of England is one of the very best places you could start to make contacts and learn about finance, in the world's capital of international finance.

Well, that's assuming that both a) the best idea is worth something on the free market, and b) the person submitting would possess the know how to take their PoC and capitalize on it themselves.

Hopefully, anyone that fits in A&B would agree with you and wouldn't submit. For everyone else, this seems like a fun way to add to their resume.
