About the EmpowHERment Pitch Competition
The EmpowHERment Pitch Competition is an annual competition held during Global Entrepreneurship Week in November. Applications will be received, screened, and evaluated with only three finalists selected to pitch to a live audience. An expert panel of qualified judges will pick two winners. One will take home the $15,000 prize sponsored by Simmons Bank, and the other will take home the $10,000 prize sponsored by Higginbotham. The cash prizes increased significantly from last year’s prizes of $12,500, doubling the cash offered at this year’s competition. Applications are open now and close on September 18th, 2023, at 11:59 pm.
“With how successful last year’s competition was, we worked with our partners at Simmons Bank and Higginbotham to up the ante. Now with a $15,000 grand prize sponsored by Simmons Bank, and a fabulous $10,000 prize sponsored by Higginbotham, there is double the money to compete for, hopefully attracting even more applicants,” says CEO, Elyse Dickerson. “We want to see your application, so please apply!”
The competition begins in Fort Worth on November 14th, 2023, during Global Entrepreneurship Week.
