No business plan required for this competition.

You just need ten or fewer slides to compete, along with a great hospitality industry idea!

Students register for the competition in early fall and submit their pitch decks in October for review by a team of faculty judges. Four finalists will be selected to present in November to a panel of industry judges. The cash prizes are: winning team, $3,000, second place team, $1,500, and third place, $500.
