THE SHOPS AT WALDORF CENTER INVITES YOUNG LOCAL TO ITS ANNUAL SHARK TANK COMPETITION
The Shops at Waldorf Center, an open-air lifestyle shopping center located just minutes from the Capital Beltway in Waldorf, Maryland (https://theshopsatwaldorfcenter.com), will host its sixth annual Youth Day Festival and Shark Tank Competition on Saturday, August 23rd, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This award-winning event is designed to showcase the business ventures of the area’s youngest entrepreneurs while providing a series of fun-filled, family-friendly activities for the entire community to enjoy. Before the event, young entrepreneurs (ages 17 and under) can sign up to be a vendor, displaying their products or services to the public during the event; renting a space costs $25 and young entrepreneurs must provide their own tables and chairs. While there is a $25 fee to participate in the Shark Tank competition, all Shark Tank entrants will receive a $25 gift card at check-in on the day of the event. During the event, young entrepreneurs will also have an opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel of judges, and the winner in each category will receive a $1,125 business grant. To register to participate in the competition, prospective participants should send their bio to [email protected] and pay their entrance fees here no later than August 22nd. In addition to the Youth Shark Tank Competition, this year’s event, which will be held in the parking lot adjacent to Cava and Panera Bread, will also feature lawn games, moon bounces, a petting zoo, a corn hole competition, face painting, live music, arts and crafts, food trucks and more. While there is a fee to participate in the Shark Tank Competition, simply attending the August 23rd event is free of charge and open to the public; no pre-registration is required to attend.
