Take Your Invention or Business Idea Into the Dragons' Den

Are you familiar with Dragons' Den, the CBC show where entrepreneurs get to pitch their business idea to a panel of experienced business people and maybe walk away with the cash and advice to make their dreams happen?

Right now the CBC is putting together another season and looking for entrepreneurs from across Canada to be on the show.

You can audition in person at one of more than 40 audtion calls in various Canadian cities ( See the Dragons' Den tour schedule) or apply online.

Participants of all ages are encouraged to apply; the producers have a special interest in "young entrepreneurs who think they have what it takes to seal a deal with the country's most renowned business tycoons".

No matter what your age, though, you need to be prepared to pitch your idea in under five minutes.
