New Venture Creation Competition to be held April 20 Twelve student teams from universities across the country will compete for cash prizes in the second annual Evansville New Venture Creation Competition at the University of Evansville this Friday, April 20. The competition, sponsored by the University of Evansville Schroeder Family School of Business Administration, promotes students' entrepreneurial spirit. Finalists were chosen by a panel of evaluators based on the strength of the team's business plan. "This is a great opportunity for undergraduate students to learn what it is like to see if their ideas have what it takes to succeed in the entrepreneurial marketplace in front of a panel of veteran investors," said Pete Sherman, assistant professor of management at UE and professor of the Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship courses at UE. The winning team will have an opportunity to present its ideas to the Midwest Venture Club of Evansville and the Small Business Development Center. The top three finalists will receive prize money to fund their business idea (first place: $10,000, second place: $5,000, third place: $2,500).
