We're excited to announce that we will be judging the Etsy Canada and  Ten Thousand Coffees $5000 Grant contest for aspiring creative entrepreneurs!

Etsy and Ten Thousand Coffees recently partnered to launch a community for Makers - a marketplace of opportunity for aspiring and established artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs, enabling them to access experiences, conversations, and resources that will move them forward. Through this partnership, Etsy has two unique opportunities for aspiring artists and makers to kick-start their own business:
