Looking for a Few Good Women

And that’s why last year we launched the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award program—in celebration of Canada’s mom entrepreneurs, their great ideas and their hard work. More than 400 mom-run companies were nominated and discovered by you, our readers, who ultimately named Mabel’s Labels Canada’s top Mom Entrepreneur company for 2007. And, today, in celebration of all moms who dare to dream big, we’re launching the SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2008, with the generous support of our sponsors T-fal, Canon and Johnstone LLP. The national winner, who will be announced in the fall, will be rewarded with a $17,000 prize package of cash, business services and office equipment designed to help take her business to the next level. She will also be featured in the January 2009 edition of Today’s Parent magazine and through her own blog on their website. And new this year, we’re also looking for the four top regional mom entrepreneurs, each of whom will win a prize package worth over $2400.

So if you’re a mom entrepreneur, don’t be shy—nominate yourself now! And for all the rest of you readers—support the mom entrepreneur movement by browsing the contest site and voting for your favourites. We’ve got 31 great prizes courtesy of Robeez and T-fal to be won, just for voting!

We know everyone likes to back a winner, but as moms we also know that trying your hardest and having fun is just as important. We salute those moms who are working hard to have it all and encourage their friends to support them by voting.

Good luck to each of you and most of all, have fun.
