Participants will have one minute to present their idea to a panel of judges. The goal is to explain the business clearly and convincingly in a short time. Winners will receive hundreds of dollars in prize money to help get their idea off the ground. Organizers say the competition is designed to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.
The event is free to enter, and no prior business experience is required. Whether you have a tech startup, a food truck concept, or a service-based idea, the competition is a chance to test your pitch and get feedback from experienced business leaders. The deadline to register is approaching, so interested individuals are encouraged to sign up soon. The competition will take place later this month at a location in Rexburg.
