JA Young Entrepreneur Competition: Statewide

Happening Now!

Where: Milwaukee

 

JA's Young Entrepreneur Competition is a competition between young entrepreneurs in the State of Wisconsin who are students between 9th and 12th grade that successfully turned a business idea into a reality in the form of a fully operational commercial enterprise. Four applicants will be chosen by our selection committee (the “finalists”) who will compete for a $5000 scholarship and other prizes in a taped television event in Milwaukee, WI.

Student entrepreneurs' grades 9 - 12 who have operated a business since January, 2024 are eligible to apply.

Taping for the 4 finalists will take place in downtown Milwaukee on Friday, February 21, 2025. Must be present to compete.

The JA Young Entrepreneur Statewide Competition finalist video premiere week will be March 10 – 14. Stay tuned to our Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube channels for updates.
