Each year, we invite Colorado’s top youth business owners, ages 6 to 21, to apply to the Spotlight on YouthBiz Stars business competition. These young entrepreneurs complete an online application, and then a panel of independent judges selects a winner and two finalists in each age category. Winners receive up to $5,000, and finalists receive up to $500. Winners are also paired with a leading business owner from the Colorado community.
