ABOUT THE CONTEST
Our inaugural event debuted in March 2022 and was a huge success! Over 35 contestants presented their Pitch about technology, products, or services to a panel of local professionals and $8,500 was awarded. Next year’s March event will offer the same opportunities.
The highest scoring idea will earn a $5,000 cash prize, while second and third-place winners will be awarded $2,500 and $1,000 respectively. The goal is for applicants to think outside the box, harness their talent and creativity, pitch an innovative idea, and see a path to entrepreneurial success here in Texarkana USA.
