It鈥檚 time for Aldergrove students to put their business ideas on paper that they鈥檝e been mulling over.
Winning ideas get a $100 cash prize. Local realtor Jodi Steeves has partnered with Aldergrove Business Association for the new 鈥榢idbiz鈥� contest to encourage young minds in the community to submit their business ideas.

Those interested can participate by submitting any business idea to Steeves鈥� team, who will forward the submissions to the local business association. Each of the five winners selected by the judging panel will receive a $100 cash prize and a free one-year membership to the business association. Steeves feels many kids, including her son, spend too much time on the computer, and hence such a contest would be a great way to get them thinking creatively.
The contest even has Steeves鈥� two-year-old rat terrier dog as the mascot.
