Queens Pitch Competition
Queens Pitch Competition
The Queens Pitch Competition gives students the opportunity to compete for up to $5,000 in prize money for their innovative business ideas.
Throughout January and February, teams will meet with entrepreneurial experts to learn the foundations of how to build and deliver a successful pitch. Teams are expected to work on their projects on a daily basis leading up to the competition. There are two rounds in the competition.
For the first round, teams will submit a video recording of their pitch, which will be judged by local entrepreneurs. Three or four teams will be selected as finalists for the live competition.
