Summer activities may look a little different this year but, here at WVU, we are still committed to our outreach mission to serve our state’s youth and inspire entrepreneurship. West Virginia students in grades K-12 will have the opportunity to share ideas about creating a business. Students can submit one innovative idea of a product or service, or they can submit a business idea that focuses on improving their community, our state or society as a whole.
This competition will include two rounds and is open to for-profit and not-for-profit ideas. In round one, students submit a 90-second video including the student’s business idea and why it would be successful. The top videos in each category – elementary, middle and high school – will move on to the final round (round two) of the competition by submitting a three-minute video, then answering live Q&A with judges on Aug. 5.
Applications due July 22 by noon.
