The culminating event of every NFTE classroom program is a competition. Through this opportunity, students present their business plans before an audience and a panel of volunteer judges. Judges listen, ask questions, and evaluate each presentation to select a regional winner to head to New York City for the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, where the top NFTE students from across the country compete for $25,000 in awards.
