The Competition is the fifth largest collegiate business plan competition in the country. Each year cash prizes are awarded, with participation from hundreds of students across the ten schools at GW. In-kind prizes worth tens of thousands of dollars are also awarded annually. These include free legal counsel, office space, and professional consultation services.
