The Creative Young Entrepreneur program is an international competition with a single main objective:

To motivate and inspire enterprising young leaders. The core of the CYE program is for young leaders to showcase their up-and-running businesses.

CYE challenges young entrepreneurs to critically and creatively think by requiring them to provide an in-depth business plan, their marketing position, and strategic goals on how their venture will begin to earn a profit and become sustainable, all the while providing the opportunity of having that plan reviewed by delegated experts.

  • The competition is open to JCI members and non-members.
  • Businesses must already be active. (Minimum 3 months).
  • Contestants must provide a strong business plan.
  • Applications are reserved for individuals aged 18-40 years.

How To Apply?

  • Fill out an Online Application Form in English.
  • Upload a detailed business plan
