Nominations are now being sought for the 2011 Student Entrepreneur National Competition, which provides the winner with $10,000 cash toward the growth of their business.

The Student Entrepreneur National Competition is presented by ACE, a national charitable organization. It provides a platform for young business leaders to showcase their business on a regional and national stage to top executives and leading entrepreneurs, receive relevant training, network with like-minded students, and leverage valuable guidance to accelerate the growth of their business.

“Now in its 15th year of operation, we encourage all student entrepreneurs to apply for the 2011 Student Entrepreneur National Competition,” comments ACE president Amy Harder. “This is an opportunity for budding entrepreneurs in every community across Canada to showcase their accomplishments and possibly earn national and international recognition.”

Each provincial champion will receive complimentary lodging and travel to attend their ACE Regional Exposition in their area. Regional champions will receive a $1,000 cash prize plus complimentary lodging and travel to the ACE National Exposition, and the national champion will receive a $10,000 cash prize. If eligible, he or she will also represent Canada at the 2011 Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, operated by the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO).
