Are you a young entrepreneur or inventor? Do you have an idea that you need to share with the world? We invite you to be a part of the 2026 Steinbach Chamber Challenge!
The Chamber Challenge is a student-entrepreneur competition modelled on the popular Canadian reality show, Dragon’s Den. This event invites middle school and high school students in Southeast Manitoba to pitch their business idea, product, or service to a panel of local business leaders for a chance to win cash prizes!
How it works:
Eligible students must submit their idea, product, or service through the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce online application process.
The Finalists:
Once the application period closes, applications will be shortlisted, and finalists will be selected to participate in a live Chamber Challenge event, where they will present to a panel of local business leaders.
The Chamber Challenge Champions:
The first, second, and third-place winners of the Chamber Challenge will be selected immediately after the event and will receive cash prizes during a formal presentation.
