  • Submission Requirements: A five-page business concept document outlining the social venture, including problem identification, proposed solution, target population, competitive advantage, social impact potential, and business model.
  • Presentation: Semifinalists will present their concepts in a 10-minute pitch during the semifinals, with the opportunity to advance to the finals for additional scholarships.
