Entrepreneurial Kid of the Year™

We would like to recognize kids, young entrepreneurs who start a business .

We would like to profile many of these business experiences in TeachingKidsBusiness.com to show other kids what is possible and to get other kids interested in business.

We know there are many  entrepreneurial stories of kids who venture into business at an early age. We would like to know your story.

Who knows, maybe we will create a reality program with young entrepreneurs.

Let's celebrate the ventures of great little entrepreneurs!

The contest will award entrepreneurs by age age category and with business categories. There are three age categories as stated below and three business categories - general business, kidse-marketplace.com and lemonade stand business.

KidsE-Marketplace.com Entrepreneur Of The Year

We would like to acknowledge entrepreneurs in kidse-marketplace.com. We would like to base the awards on votes by  kids.  As we develop the marketplace and create the award idea further, we will give you the details. Please see www.kidse-marketplace.com for business start-up information.

Lemonade Stand Entrepreneur of The Year

We would like to ackowledge young entrepreneurs who have developed a lemonade stand business.

Please see our lemonade stand program and lemonade stand business contest for more details.

We are planning a range of  awards for kids;  kids business products from our business store, Kid's Digital Dollars to help you further develop your business abilities, acknowledgement on our website and  certificates. The greatest award will be your personal satisfaction and experience from your business venture!

Age category guidelines: (subject to change based on participation)

Kids 7 and under:

Tell us a story about your experience of developing and running your business.

Kids 8-12 :

 Tell us what you did and what it was like developing and running a business. Present your thoughts in kid's words with a focus on the things you learned from your experience. 

Kids 13 and older:

You can still take the story approach. You  can also write an  executive summary of your experience and consider writing a traditional business plan.

This contest is all about providing kids with a positive experience. What the kids do to plan their business and how they operate (plan to operate it)  is important. The presentation isn't as important as the experience and therefore the time should be spend on the experience rather then the writing of the experience. We will have business plan writing contests later, but not for this project.

Please note that this is not like a school project in which your parents do a lot of the work. Parents and or teachers help is ok in advising you and helping you understand business concepts. You will get much more out of this project if you take ownership in it and do it to learn and to developed your business skills. 

How to Enter:

If you are interested in sharing your story with us, please give us an e-mail at contact@teachingkidsbusiness.com (If you are under 13 years of age please see our contact page and have a parent approve of you contacting us and participating)

Contest Date:

The contest is ongoing with no deadline restrictions. We don't want to exclude any young entrepreneurs.

 Based on the level of participation,  we will change things accordingly. We will try and respond to participants within a few weeks and present awards every few months.

The Kid's Business Entrepreneur ™  Award" will be awarded within a month of the end of the year.
