Compete for a grand prize of $5,000!

The competition follows a Dragon’s Den style. Participants will engage in the initial closed-door pitch, having the unique opportunity to showcase their concepts to a panel of seasoned experts. The finalists chosen from the first round will then move forward to the live pitch in front of an audience, where the judges pick a final winner, and the audience will vote for People’s Choice.

Simultaneously, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a business support services tradeshow will be held in the adjacent room where mature business owners and entrepreneurs can receive various information from mixed entrepreneurial support organizations! The BIG Pitch is open to entrepreneurs and small business owners of Kamloops, Sun Peaks, Westwold, Vavenby, Pritchard, McLure, Little Fort, Clearwater, Chase, Blue River, Barriere, and Avola.

This free community event is for all ages, and we warmly invite all residents to participate in the fun. Plus, a coffee bar will be available to energize everyone throughout the day!

This event is a unique opportunity for small business owners and entrepreneurs that will drive economic growth in our region.
