he EY Entrepreneur of the Year is an annual global awards
program administered by Ernst & Young (EY). Canada's Pa-
cific Region competition is overseen by the Ernst & Young
LLP Vancouver office, which selects judges from among
business leaders and past
EOY winners. Judges look for a
number of factors, including vision, leadership, financial
performance and social responsibility. The Pacific Region winner
is among five regional winners for Canada's EY Entrepreneur of
the Year; the Canadian winner advances to an annual competi-
tion for World Entrepreneur of the Year from among 50 country
finalists, each year held in Monte Carlo. Details of the nomina-
tion process and judging criteria are available at ey.com/ca/EOY.
