Elevator Pitch Competition
About the program · 2 linked sources
Students give a 90-second pitch in one of three categories: Job/Internship Seeker, Advocate, or Entrepreneur (Business or Game). The registration page for the 19th annual competition says registration ran from November 6, 2025 to January 16, 2026, and that those dates are the registration window, not the competition date. Prizes in each category are $500 for first, $300 for second, $100 for third, and a $50 gift card for fan favorite. The center page describes $2,700 in all, with three $500 first prizes, and second and third prizes of $300 and $100 in each of three categories. Volunteer coaches and a pitch-prep workshop are offered.
