Registration and Selection Process

Read the document Guide to the Form to properly prepare your application. Every project must be registered in one of the categories of the Scholastic section. The answers to the questions must demonstrate that the project meets the evaluation criteria:

• Nature of the project
• Process
• Mobilization
• Benefits
• Reach of the project
• Originality

Before the validation of eligibility, OSEntreprendre sends to the project representatives who request it in the form a "moi jOSEntreprendre!" badge for each participant registered. This is often put on the backpack or pencil case of young people.

Once eligibility is confirmed, OSEntreprendre sends elementary and secondary school principals a batch of participation certificates to give to students. Principals are encouraged to award these certificates to students in front of their entire class, during an end-of-year activity, or as part of an intercom announcement. When students bring home this cardstock document, it prompts a conversation with their parents, reinforcing the students’ experience. At the college and university level, the project representatives receive the certificates directly.

All eligible projects are recognized and receive a sticker. All participants receive a participation certificate.  

All prizewinners receive an item in recognition of their initiative and to foster the spirit of entrepreneurship throughout Québec! 

It should be noted that as part of the selection process, no jury is required to award all the prizes if the quality of the applications received is not deemed satisfactory or if no project has been registered in a category. The decisions made by the juries may not be appealed. The jury members, or the members of the regional committee, do not forward their comments or their completed evaluation sheets to the participants following the analysis process.
