The organizers of the first Atlantic Canadian version of the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards are looking for entries from undergrads in the region who run their own businesses.

Organized by the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, the GSEA program is designed to help undergraduate students who own and operate businesses to promote their companies and value proposition by competing with other business owners.

The organizers are looking for students from across Atlantic Canada to enter by filling out this form by Dec. 11. The participants will have an opportunity to present their companies at an event at the World Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax on Jan. 21. The winner will receive a paid trip to Toronto in February to compete at nationals. The Canadian winner will head to the global competition in Bangkok in May to vie for $50,000 in cash and prizes.

The Entrepreneurs' Organization was founded in 1987 by a group of young entrepreneurs. With more than 10,000 members in 48 countries throughout the world, it enables business owners to learn from each other to experience greater business success while forming strong professional and personal relationships.
