Recently we posted about a contest for women with innovative business ideas sponsored by Bayer and DailyCandy.com.

Well, the winners have been announced and they’re all great ideas!

First-place Molly Risak will start a business creating jazzed-up hospital gowns for children.

Second-place winner Prairie Rose Free is starting an artisanal ice-cream and cocktail shop in Brooklyn, New York. (Can I go?)

Third-place winner Megan Hand will convert school buses to mobile art classes to visit local schools.

Each will receive $5,000 from Bayer to start their venture. Read more about the winners on the DailyCandy site.
