The Question you asked was:
What Fortune 500 Companies have awards for emerging Entrepreneurs?
Please provide links to find out more information these awards.
Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award would be a good
example.
Provided below are links to current Fortune 500 incentive plans for
skilled and entrepreneurial employees. I have also noted
organizations for employee recognition, which may be of interest.
Employee Recognition: Why It Matters

""Most entrepreneurs do not consider recognition a central part of
their management practices""
http://www.recognition.org/
National Association for Employee Recognition
Here is a list of the current members of NAER. Most have differing
rewards programs and many of them are based on business values
including entrepreneurial drive and innovation. You might consider
contacting each company by e-mail and asking them how they reward the
emerging entrepreneurs within their organization. (i'll do it for a
reasonable fee)

Many Fortune 500 companies recruit from College and University
Entrepreneur Awards contests.
A good example would be the 2003 East Coast Collegiate Entrepreneur
Awards Program. This program is sponsored by some big names such as
Verizon, Edison Venture Fund and First Union Bank.
http://www.edisonventure.com
http://www.verizon.net
""For 2003, First Union, the Edison Venture Fund and Verizon have come
on board as primary sponsors of the East Coast Collegiate Entrepreneur
Awards program. “We are delighted to have the nation’s sixth largest
banking company, one of region's most successful venture capital
firms, and one of the world's leading communications providers
participate in recognizing today's young entrepreneurs,” notes James
C. Barrood, associate director of the Institute.""
The deadline for applications is March 5 2003.
Some government organizations also offer awards for entrepreneurial
achievement.
http://www.secretshopnet.com/who_1_bdc.html
""Sean Young, Founder and COO of Secret ShopNET, beat out stiff
competition from entrepreneurs throughout Alberta to win the Business
Development Bank of Canada's Young Entrepreneur Award for 1998.
Awarded annually to a business person in every Province and Territory
this prize recognizes the most determined and innovative players in
the new economy.""

In Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada plays a huge role
in propelling entrepreneurs to financial success and worldwide
recognition. The BDC sponsors several entrepreneurial award programs.
