To celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week, we're partnering with Canopy NWA to host an IdeaFame Live Contest at Fairlane Station in Springdale! Canopy NWA offers tailor-made, high-quality, and low-cost entrepreneurship training and business services to startup businesses of refugees and immigrants in the community. The contest is open to the public, just register to pitch!
What is an IdeaFame Live Contest?
The IdeaFame Live Contest, brought to you by Startup Junkie, is an event created to promote startups and new ideas, and to increase "creative collisions" in emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems. Come pitch your new business, product, service, or solution for a chance to win!
- Attendees: Open to anyone – bring your co-founders, friends, family, fiancé – anyone! Just have them sign up here. (Attendees vote for the $1000 People’s Choice Prize).
- Contestants: Open to entrepreneurs, innovators, and dreamers who want to share their idea for a chance to win $1,000! You have 60 seconds to pitch your idea, no more. No slides. No notes. Only one contestant can speak per pitch.
PRIZES!
There will be two winners. The audience will select the People’s Choice. The Judges will select the Judges’ Choice. Each winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize on the spot... And a giant check. Yes, that’s right. We’re giving away a total of $2,000 with no strings attached.
