MADE In Missouri
State Entrepreneurship Competition
The Missouri Alliance for the Development of
Entrepreneurship is now
accepting applications for the 2016 MADE in Missouri State Entrepreneurship
Competition. The competition, which is open to all Missouri residents, challenges
participants to develop business ideas into legitimate ventures and execute
well-developed business plans for an opportunity to move the business forward.
 Entry is open to any potential business owner or current
business owner that has been in operation for less than three years.
Participants aged 18 and under may enter in either the Youth or Open category,
and those 19 and older must enter in the Open category. Business ideas are not
limited to any particular industry.
The competition will take place in multiple phases. Click here for a step-by-step breakdown of each phase! Participants selected for the final phase will present their
business ideas at the 2016 Missouri State Fair in an open tradeshow, which will
include an in-depth investment pitch to a panel of judges. The winners will be
announced at the fair, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place winners receiving cash grants for investment capital.
