Welcome to the My First Business Challenge, an online business competition for kids! Here’s the short version of how it works.
Kids
Please fill out the “Business Plan Ad-Lib” below on this page! It will give you a way to tell us about your business by just filling in the blanks.
There are two prizes – one for most likes on Instagram and one awarded by judges. You can try to win one or both!
After you fill in the Ad-Lib about your amazing business, we will send your parent or guardian a release so that you can enter the competition.
We will also send them a copy of your business Ad-Lib so that you’ll have an easy script you can use to record a little video to post on social media if your parents give you permission. Feel free to be creative – the ad-lib is there to help in whatever way you want.
The steps to enter the Business Challenge are:
- Ad-Lib
- Parent Consent
- Pitch
- Post
Parents
You will need to sign the release forms we send your way after your child has completed and submitted the Ad-Lib below.
