Anzisha Prize 2021 for Young Entrepreneurs

Anzisha Prize 2021 for Young Entrepreneurs 

Nominate the top entrepreneurial talent from your country for the Anzisha Prize 2021. The Anzisha Prize is Africa’s biggest award for her youngest entrepreneurs aged 15 – 22 years. The prize hands out over USD $100,000 every year in prize money to entrepreneurs from all over the continent.

The Anzisha Prize isn’t awarded for great ideas or business plans – it recognises young entrepreneurs who are operating for-profit and non-profit ventures that demonstrate: ingenuity; scalability; and a social impact.

If you are a young African Entrepreneur trying to grow a small business or you’ve created something that makes your community better and provides you and your friends an income, then they want your application. Your venture could be anything. Become a role model and inspire other young entrepreneurs to believe in the difference you can make in Africa, with the right support.
