Young Entrepreneurs
check back for applications at the end of may!
The fifth annual Young Entrepreneurs contest is sponsored by the Bank of Travelers Rest! We are looking to find the brightest Young Entrepreneurs to host at our market. Applicants will be chosen by a panel of local judges based on a creative and a clear business plan. Children ages 8 -15 are encouraged to enter. The application deadline is June 20, 2025 at 11:59pm.
We will be hosting a workshop for all applicants in June. Meet other Young Entrepreneurs and learn from local business owners about the process of selling, creating, and marketing! We will practice business skills and prepare for Pitch Night as a group.
At the end of June, we will host "Pitch Night" to determine our Young Entrepreneurs of the Year! Parents, grandparents, friends and community members are welcome to attend as the Young Entrepreneurs present their businesses to a panel of judges.
All Young Entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to sell at the Travelers Rest Farmers Market in July-August. The winners will be announced at the Kids Bike Parade on July 4th!
