In recognition of the tremendous talent and drive a new generation of entrepreneurs is bringing to the industry, Pizza Today and Pizza Expo are conducting a nationwide search for the best and brightest pizzeria owner-operators who are under 40 years of age.
We’re seeking nominations of pizza entrepreneurs who have been in business at least two years and can point to outstanding accomplishments and valuable community involvement during their evolving careers. Nominations will be evaluated by Pizza Today’s editors and the staff of Pizza Expo, and three finalists for Young Entrepreneur of the Year will be named. The finalists will receive an expenses-paid trip to Pizza Expo 2018 in Las Vegas, where they will each give a 15-minute talk about their companies and business philosophies. Expo attendees in the audience will then vote on the spot for the award’s winner.
We encourage all pizza entrepreneurs who qualify to fill out this form and submit a video to be considered for the award. Nominations may be initiated by employees, but the nominated owner must be in front of the camera during the video. Instructions for the video appear at the bottom of the application form.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 15, 2017.
