Video Pitch Competition

Your pitch can be done individually or in teams of up to a maximum of four. The goal is to record an up to 5-minute video of your business concept's elevator speech and submit through our platform. For privacy purposes, applicant will only be required to include the name of their school, teacher name/email, and fictional business name. School and teacher name should not be within the video itself and will rather be collected upon submission.

**In order for your classroom to be eligible for prizes, we ask that teachers vote on businesses from a competing school. We utilize an account-based system which is bound to teacher email addresses to monitor votes**
