Entrepreneurship Competition

"CHALLENGE.  INNOVATION.  COLLABORATION."

After its inaugural year of operation, we are excited to take the Queen's Young Entrepreneurs' Competition (QYEC) to greater heights in 2024. QYEC is a premier business competition for grade 11 and 12 students who are motivated by challenge, innovation, and collaboration. The competition is an elite opportunity for students to showcase their entrepreneurial ideas and take them to the next level. Consisting of two rounds, the competition invites students to apply their creative thinking outside of the classroom through a business pitch, video, and final presentation.
