Teachers,

Thank you for your patience during this unusual time in education and our world.  Due to the nature of classroom and state competitions, we suspended our 2020 competition season.  However, we do want to still highlight the hard work our student entrepreneurs have put into their business plans and businesses.  Please see the information below in regards to how we will select the 2020 Student Entrepreneurs of the Year and Outstanding Student of the Year.

Teachers will select two students from each of their entrepreneurship classes to be considered for the 2020 Student Entrepreneurs of the Year.  If a classroom competition occurred in the 2019-2020 school year teachers must submit the 1st & 2nd place winners.

For consideration, selected students must submit the following forms to their teacher for upload. Teachers will upload documents once they have received all required information to the google drive folder 2020 Student Entrepreneur Competition.
