Our pitch competition is a contest for entrepreneurs of all ages. First, students will present their business idea(s) via video to a panel of judges in April. Each student or group of students will be evaluated using a rubric. Judges will determine which ideas/students move forward to compete at PitchDIA 2022. At the main event, students will have an opportunity to win cash prizes up to $1,000! PitchDIA is held every 18-24 months as a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit of Dalton. Our goal is to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit and creativity of our students.
