During this annual competition, students
are given 45 seconds to pitch a business idea. The idea can be related to a non-profit or for-profit venture. Five
winners are selected by our panel of judges. 1st place receives $800, 2nd place $600,
3rd place $400, and 4th and 5th place receive $100 each. In the past, elevator pitches have ranged from topics
that include developing software to allow iPods to share pictures, providing cleaner-burning cooking stoves to rural villages
in Peru, and creating a new clothing line for women. Judges will evaluate the presentations on the following criteria:
