The Springboard Ideas Challenge has provided many entrepreneurs with a starting point to launch their ventures, including Pharos Resources, Enchilada Express and Dream Spectrum Design. The community level grand prize consists of $15,000 in cash and $35,000 in office space. The college level grand prize consists of $7,500 in cash.
Finalists will be announced April 15, with selected finalists presenting their business concepts to a panel of expert judges on April 20. An awards dinner will be held April 23 to celebrate and announce the winners.
