BIG Idea Finalists Announced!


After many hours of work by hundreds of students creating entries and hundreds of judges scoring those entries, we are excited to announce the 2018 BIG Idea Finalists!  These finalists will give their verbal presentations to our final judging panel on December 5th, and the winners will be determined.  They’ll also get to hear from successful entrepreneurs from the region and ask them questions.  Our 2018 category winners will be announced next week.
