The Next Great Prime Minister

Over $100,000 in prizes for Canadian Students.

DO YOU HAVE A VISION FOR CANADA’S FUTURE?
“The Next Great Prime Minister” is looking for Canada’s future leaders and has been launched to engage young Canadians in the political process. If you are between the ages of 18 and 29, send us a 3 to 5 minute videotaped speech telling us what you would do if you were prime Minister. Tell us how you would make Canada better, stronger, and more prosperous. Be compelling. Be original. And above all, be inspirational. A primetime special airing later this fall on Canadian network television will feature the top 5 contestants completing in a one-hour televised final. The winner will be chosen as Canada’s “Next Great Prime Minister” and will receive a $50,000 cash prize and a six month internship with our sponsors with maximum compensation of $30,000. Each of the four remaining contenders featured on the television program will receive $10,000 and a three month internship with our sponsors with maximum compensation of $15,000.
