Business Pitch Application Overview

This year, we are making several important updates to the Project Opportunity^SM Business Pitch competition to improve clarity, fairness, and the overall applicant experience.

Eligibility Policy Update

Please note the following eligibility requirement:

Previous Project Opportunity^SM Business Pitch winners are not eligible to compete in future Business Pitch competitions.

This policy applies to all past winners, regardless of category or year won.

Updated Application Process

We are revising the Project Opportunity^SM Business Pitch application process by removing categories from the initial application.

Rather than asking applicants to self-select a category, all submissions will now follow a single, streamlined application. After an application is received, our team will review the information and contact the applicant directly to gather any additional details needed and to determine the most appropriate category placement.

This change allows for a more accurate evaluation of each business idea and ensures applicants are placed where they best fit.
