0By Jessica Frazier
UPIKE students have a chance to win $10,000 in cash prizes by entering in the Appalachian New Business Competition. The competition is for proposed business ideas in the seed or start-up stages. Students will need to have a written plan that includes financial data for the company. Students have to prepare an oral presentation and will be followed by a five-minute question/answer session between the team and the judges. The competition is open to all of Eastern Kentucky. The deadline to submit a plan is Nov. 20, and the competition date is Dec. 2. Last year, Marcos Fondelius Sernandez of Magalluf, Spain, Nicholas Rodenbusch of Simmern, Germany, and Christin Justice of Pikeville won first place and took home the grand prize of $5,000.
