The Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge starts with pitch competitions at the local classroom or camp level, with winners having the potential to advance on to the regional and then national competitions. National qualifiers vie for bigger prize awards as they go up against the best young entrepreneurs from across the country in the final rounds. Finalists at all levels have a chance to win seed capital they can use to grow an existing business, launch a new business, or pursue educational goals.
Competition Process
Students compete first at local school or camp pitch competitions and rise up the ranks to the National challenge. At each level students get additional resources to refine their business plan and presentations.Judging Criteria
