In connection with the 2011 Mandaue Business Month, the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) has announced that the coronation for their search for W.I.N.N.E.Rs (Women In Need, Now Entrepreneurs and Role Models) will be on the 24th of August at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC). To recall, the MCCI has already made known its Top 23 micro-entrepreneurs for its Search held at St. Theresa's College last month, July 23, 2011.
The Search for W.I.N.N.E.Rs is a search for model women micro-entrepreneurs from Mandaue City who are struggling to rise from poverty through their business ventures inspiring other women to be empowered in the process.
Judging is based on their inspirational stories of courage, perseverance and creativity (50%), response to the Q&A (20%) and comprehensiveness of the information presented on their business plan (30%). Judges were composed of MCCI Trustees, event sponsors and media partners.
The contestants also have a line of activities comparable to a beauty pageant like sponsors tour, personality development seminar, livelihood trainings and other seminars.
Among the media partners for this event is the Cebu Bloggers' Society.
Truly this is a unique contest woth supporting.
