We’re excited to announce the launch of the fourth annual Youth Social
Entrepreneurship Competition <http://www.genv.net/staples-yse> ,
sponsored by Ashoka’s Youth Venture® and Staples. We’re looking to
celebrate the stories of young changemakers around the world who are
creating positive impact through their youth-led ventures, and we need
your help to identify them.
The global competition is open to young people between the ages of 12
and 24 who have launched their own youth-led ventures. We’re looking
for amazing youth to share how their work demonstrates exceptionally
inspirational changemaking, particularly in areas of empathy,
teamwork, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Nominations and entries
will be accepted on a rolling basis through Sept. 20, 2010. Eight
winners will be chosen throughout the summer, and in October, the
grand-prize winner will be selected for their outstanding impact,
innovation and potential. All eight winners will be recognized at a
TEDx conference, a national gathering of thought leaders devoted to
"Ideas Worth Spreading," on Nov. 13, 2010 in Washington, DC.
During the TEDxYSE conference <http://www.tedxyse.com/> , the grand-
prize winning team will be announced and presented with the Staples/
Ashoka Youth Social Entrepreneurship Excellence Award and a prize
worth $5,000. The seven remaining winners will receive Achievement
Awards and prizes worth $500. The grand-prize winning team will have
the unique opportunity to consult with, and draw from the expertise of
high-level Staples executives. All eight winning teams will get the
opportunity to meet with an Ashoka Fellow - one of the world’s leading
social entrepreneurs. Ashoka Fellows are known for their unrivaled
commitment to bold ideas and innovative solutions.
The YSE Competition promises to provide a great opportunity to
highlight the work of some exceptional youth.  We’re hoping you can
help us by sharing this information throughout your organization and
with any potential candidates.  For your support in spreading the
word, we’d love to discuss giving your organization recognition on the
competition website as a network partner.
For additional information and to nominate youth, please visit the
