Five finalists will be selected to compete on June 23 at the Minority Small Business Summit. In addition, they will attend a practice run on June 17 where they will be given feedback and have the opportunity to refine their pitch.
Prizes for the pitch competition include:
First place: $10,000
Second place: $5,000
