Dragons’ Den is calling on all aspiring entrepreneurs to present their business pitches for a chance to be featured next season on CBC.

Beginning in Toronto on February 10, and arriving in Cranbrook on March 3, auditions will be open to the public, as producers hit the road visiting Canadian cities coast-to-coast in search of the country’s best business ideas in need of a Dragon investment.

A full list of audition dates and cities, venues, timing and additional information can be found online via the Dragons’ Den website.

The audition tour welcomes participants of all ages, with businesses at any stage of development. Hopeful entrepreneurs should prepare to pitch their concept to the Dragons’ Den producers in five minutes or less. If they show the producers they have what it takes to pitch in the Den, they could be invited to Toronto to face the Dragons. Prospective pitchers are encouraged to apply online and bring a completed application form to the audition.

Dragons’ Den is one of the most successful Canadian unscripted programs and is currently in its 12th season. Local viewers will be familiar with the show because of a past appearance on the show by Brenda Palmer of Mrs. Palmer’s Pantry (pictured right).

Producers will be on the lookout for entrepreneurs in Kelowna and Lethbridge on March 8 and Calgary on Feb. 17 and March 10.

In addition to its success on air, Dragons’ Den is also a hit online, boasting an active and engaged online community and averaging more than 450,000 page views per month. Full episodes and exclusive behind-the-scenes content can be viewed HERE. DRAGONS’ DEN is filmed at the CBC Broadcasting Centre in Toronto and airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on CBC.

The Cranbrook auditions will be held at Coyote Jack’s inside Western Financial Place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 3.
