categories have one thing in common. They deserve our recognition
and accolades for their accomplishments." The awards are open
to candidates 19 and under.

successful Web site development firm has international clientele
including manufacturers, publishers, and the Ontario Government.
Prior to launching Hilary Interactive Inc., her career as a professional
fashion model based in Toronto had taken her to Tokyo and Taipei

Supermodels and Modeling, gets more than two million hits per month.
The other is an ezine, Hilary Magazine (www.hilary.com), which features
reviews, travel and fashion articles and opinion pieces aimed at
young readers. Hilary is also the owner of New Faces Talent (www.newfaces.com),
a popular on-line portfolio service for models, actors and photographers.

for holding these awards ceremonies every year. Meeting the other
talented winners has really restored my faith in today's youth."
