ELITE AWARD 2022

"Elite Award is an essential award to recognize Vancouver's young entrepreneurs and startups"  - Y.E.

Seeing the possibility of success around us can be the best inspiration. One of our missions at Y.E. is to spotlight and recognize the successes and possibilities around us. Each year, Y.E. awards a handful of young outstanding individuals, entrepreneurs and community leaders from all walks of life in Vancouver.

Since 2017, Y.E. has nominated over 20 young outstanding individuals and businesses at our Annual Year-End Gala. Those selected as Young Elite of the Year are entrepreneurial pioneers, successful young professionals and philanthropic contributors who have made a difference in this community we live in. They actively innovate and implement ideas into reality that have significant impacts on the growth of this city for both business and community contribution. At Y.E., we will keep identifying and recognizing young and extraordinary individuals around us and spotlight  the possibilities.

Together, we take actions to create a brighter future for our Vancouver communities.
