Here’s what we want you to showcase:

• What is your idea? Is it a product, service, or experience? 
• How is it unique? 
• Who is your customer and how do you reach them? 
• Tell us about you: How does your background support the idea? 
• What are the alternatives, and how is your idea better? 
• How much does it cost to make? How much would you sell it for?

The application deadline is Friday, November 17. Final presentations will be held on Tuesday, December 5, at 5pm in CCB 149.
