High school students (freshman through senior) from across the state of Nebraska are eligible to submit a recorded two-minute video pitch. A group of judges will view all of the submitted videos and will select the top 10 who will then be a part of a livestreamed event. The top 10 students will pitch their ideas live to a panel of judges who will ask them questions about their business idea. The livestreamed event will be open for the public to view. A panel of judges will narrow down the group to the final five and the top three winners will be selected by popular vote.
- Prepare a video describing or demonstrating your business idea, in 2 minutes or less.
- Upload it to YouTube.com
- Choose your account & video settings carefully. Ensure your video is posted as "public" or "unlisted", but NOT "private".
- For Additional Help:
- Contact Aliese Hoffman (hoffmanal2@unk.edu or 308-865-8199)

- Complete the Qualtrics Survey (one submission per idea)
- Make sure to include your YouTube URL
- Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azTTdkkJ8Tk
