RE:          Student Competition: "Big Idea Business Plan," Up to $25,000 in Prizes

If you have a business idea or have skills that can help other entrepreneurs, then enter the Big Idea Business Plan Competition for a chance to win up to $25,000 in prizes. Cool ideas are what start a business. Then it takes a business plan. Last year, aqUV, a water bottle with a purification system, won first place in our first ever Big Idea Competition. This year, it can be you!

This competition is open to all UF students, regardless of major or background. Simply submit the Intent to Compete form or the Join a Team form by December 15, 2014. There will be a Business Plan Lab in the Spring that you can sit in on to help you through the business plan writing process. First place wins $25,000. Second place wins $10,000. Third place wins $5,000.
