Each year, we invite Colorado’s top youth business owners, ages 6 to 21, apply to the Spotlight on YouthBiz Stars business competition.  These young entrepreneurs complete an online application, and then a panel of judges selects a winner and two finalists in each age category.  Winners receive up to $5,000, and finalists receive up to $500. Winners are also paired with a leading business owner from the Colorado community.

The applications process is simple, and we’re available to help.  If you can answer yes to these questions, you should apply:

• Do you know what your business does?
• Do you have a picture?
• Have you had at least one customer?

All levels of entrepreneurs from first-timers to established businesses should apply–there’s nothing to lose!

Applications are due by the end of the day on Saturday, May 30.
