Dragon's Den 2011 Auditions Coming to Halifax! March 5th 2011

On February 12, DRAGONS’ DEN takes to the road for the Season Six audition tour, stopping in a whopping 36 cities. Entrepreneurs from across the country are getting yet another chance to enter the DRAGONS’ DEN in a bid to score some high-powered financial backing for their business ventures.

Open auditions are taking place in Halifax on Saturday, March 5th, 2011 from 11am to 6pm at the Cambridge Suites Hotel, 1583 Brunswick Street.

DRAGONS’ DEN gives aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel of wealthy Canadian business moguls – the Dragons. Successful pitchers will have a chance to earn real investment – from the Dragons’ own pockets! The stakes will be even higher as the Dragons prepare for Season Six – they’ll be looking for the biggest and best deals from coast-to-coast.

No experience is necessary to audition. Interested entrepreneurs should be prepared to pitch their business in under five minutes. If they can convince the DRAGONS’ DEN production team they are ready for the limelight, they could be invited to face the dragons when the upcoming season is filmed in Toronto. Interested entrepreneurs are asked to apply online and bring a completed application form to the audition.
