How can I create an event
like this at my school?

business presentations (3-5 minutes) and create a
depository
 Students submit their business plans and committee selects
finalists
 Train mentor coaches and select judges
 Select Winner/s to feature at future larger event
 Certificates to all who students who presented
 Set your budget: Ours was $600 in prizes. Grand prize team wins
$500, second place $100, Top three teams get 1 year student memberships of
academic organization
 Create realistic deadlines for submission/selections
 Next year, partner with International competition for
winner.
