About
the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest
Created by the Business Development Bank of
Canada in 1988, the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest pays tribute to
remarkable Canadian entrepreneurs between 18 and 35 years of age. Up to 11
finalists — one for each province and one for the combined territories — will
be selected to compete for a $100,000 grand prize. A second prize of $25,000 in
consulting services will be awarded to the runner-up. For the first time, a
national committee will give each finalist a score that will be combined with
the public vote. The national committee evaluation is weighted to account for
30% of each project’s final ranking and the public vote will account for the
remaining 70% of the ranking. www.bdc.ca/yea
