Idea Pitch Competition for High School Students
Bulldog Pitch Day
With the financial support of Doug and Diane Villhard and Stella Chakiris, Truman State University and the Community of College Entrepreneurs (CCE) host the annual Bulldog Pitch Day Competition for high school students. The competition allows students to present a concept or idea for a product, service, or project. The competition is open to any high school student (up to three members). A student or team may submit only one pitch concept. Judges select six teams to attend a live pitch competition to present their concept to a panel of judges.
An elevator pitch outlines the concept or idea for a product, service, or project in a short period of time, typically from thirty seconds to three minutes. The length of the pitch mirrors the time spent waiting for and riding an elevator in a high-rise building. The purpose of the pitch is to spur the interest of a potential investor or financial backer. A good pitch highlights the key aspects of the concept.
