The Westminster Schools
We started the Nest Business Competition to give students the opportunity to turn their ideas, hobbies, or creative projects into real-world solutions. Our mission is to inspire creativity, encourage teamwork, and show how young innovators can make a positive impact on their communities. Unlike other competitions with high entry fees or oversaturated fields, we provide a fair, accessible platform for learning, experimenting, and sharing your story—because the way you tell your idea can make all the difference.
