The candidates were tasked with a number of Apprentice-style challenges, such as writing a pitch for an event in Rio de Janeiro, devising a viral marketing campaign for The Shard and giving a talk about a personal passion. They also had to complete a scavenger hunt - tracking down obscure items within a fixed time limit.
Hanya Pielichaty, senior lecturer and programme leader for the BSc (Hons) Events Management programme at the University of Lincoln, said: "The Events Management degree is only in its fourth year so to win a competition like this is an amazing achievement for both Victoria and our degree course.
