Applications are now open for the 2019 Innovate WithIN pitch competition, which encourages Hoosier high school students to create their own business plans and showcase their entrepreneurial ideas.
Students across the state can work individually or in groups to submit an innovative idea for a business, product, service or venture. The submissions will be judged, and students will receive feedback on their ideas from experienced professionals.
The statewide competition is split into nine regions based on school districts, and students compete against others in their area for the chance to pitch at the state level. The overall winners will each receive a $10,000 cash prize, $10,000 toward one year of in-state college tuition, internship opportunities and mentoring services.To apply, students must register online and submit a video pitch before the Feb. 6 deadline. To learn more about the competition, watch last year’s winning pitches, and find tips on how to prepare, visit innovatewithin.org.
