Ernst & Young Seeks Entrepreneur Nominations

E&Y is seeking nominations for its Entrepreneur of the Year 2006 Awards in San Diego. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2006, with the awards ceremony scheduled for June 14, 2006, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.



This is the 20th anniversary of the awards program, in which Ernst & Young recognizes leaders and visionaries who are creating and building world-class businesses. The award program is offered in over 100 cities and 35 countries.

"During the past 20 years, the program's long line of prominent award recipients represents American ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit," said Niki Krutop, San Diego director of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year program. "Ernst & Young is proud to recognize some of the nation's finest business thinkers for their remarkable leadership and successful accomplishments."

This year Ernst & Young has added a new category for emerging firms. Companies nominated in this category must have been started five years ago or less (in 2001 or later) and must have a growth rate of at least 20 percent per year. While the industry is irrelevant, a firm's community involvement will be an important indicator of success.
