How to join

  The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (GYEC) competition will be held online. Please check your eligibility and how to compete first, then send us the registration form.
 If you live in Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, or Turkey, please contact our international partners. You can find their contact information in the “Contact” page. They have their own national selection system to choose the GYEC representative teams and you need to apply for it in time.

1. Check your eligibility

 A participant must attend a high school and be between14 to 19 years old on the day of the competition, and each team should consist of up to 8 eligible students (minimum 3 students).
 Only one team is allowed to apply from the same high school as a country representative.So, if there are more than two teams from the same high school, form a team with members from different high schools, or have your own selection within your school.

2. Understand the selection system

 3 teams are maximum number of each country's participation to the GYEC. So, if you are NOT from Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, or Turkey, you need to participate in the primary selection on April 22, 2023. This plays a role of national competition to decide 3 representative teams for each country. You will have a simulated experience of the competition of the May 27th.

3. Confirm the competition rules

 All teams should arrange themselves a venue which is suitable to compete in the online challenge. The venue needs reliable internet access and e-mail capability. We recommend that team members gather at the same place and work together, however, if it is difficult, we allow you to gather and work online using a remote conference app.
 You will receive the GYEC Challenge via e-mail at the designated time on the day of the competition. Then, you start working as a team, submit a business plan and YouTube URL address of presentation video by deadline. Regarding those submissions, you are required to comply with the GYEC rules and guidelines. These will be apply to the pre-learning session as well.
