Cherokee County Youth Entrepreneur Fair

This competition is open to Cherokee County students in grades 9-12 with an existing business or business idea. This includes students from the Baxter Springs, Columbus, Galena, Riverton, & Southeast school districts as well as Cherokee County students who are homeschooled or attend a private school. Students may compete as individuals or in teams of up to four.

The competition will include the following three elements which will each be given equal weight by the judges. (Note: If we must go virtual with the event, we will eliminate the tabletop display and equal weight will be given to the remaining two elements.)

·  A Written Executive Summary 

 

·  A 4-Minute Presentation Followed by up to 4 Minutes of Q & A with the Judges. 

 

·  A Tabletop Display Showcasing the Business or Concept. 

Thanks to local sponsors we will be presenting more than $3,000 in cash prizes to our winners.
