Make Your Pitch Deadline: March 28, 2014!

Make Your Pitch, the Government of Ontario and Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), are pleased to be bringing back the Young Entrepreneurs, Make Your Pitch high school competition.

The competition challenges students in grades 9 to 12 to pitch their business ideas in a two-minute video to be voted on by the public and expert judges. Finalists will receive a trip to Toronto (including transportation and hotel for the finalists and chaperones) to present their ideas in front of a judging panel at OCE’s Discovery Conference and Trade Show on May 12-13. Six winners will then be selected and will be presented with a reserved entry into Summer Company to develop their business idea (worth up to $3,000).

This year’s competition is run by OCE on behalf of the Government of Ontario and presents an exciting opportunity for high school students to learn about the benefits of a career in entrepreneurship and of starting their own business. Student participants will also receive expert guidance on pitching a business proposal.
