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.
