Staples Youth Social Entrepreneur Competition

Inspiring Young People to Make Life Better for Others

Staples, Inc. has partnered with Ashoka's Youth Venture and Changemakers to sponsor the Staples Youth Social Entrepreneur Competition—a global search for the most creative and inspiring ways young people are changing our world and taking the lead on issues ranging from climate change to education to poverty.

Young people ages 12–24 are eligible to enter and will have the opportunity to receive feedback, find supporters, and join a network of young innovators from around the world with whom to exchange information and ideas; as well as win prizes and receive up to $1000 in funding to advance their projects.

The deadline to submit entries is 6 p.m. on October, 15, 2008. For more information, visit www.changemakers.net/en-us/competition/staplesyv.
