Announcing the 1st annual 2025 Auggie Baby Shark Entrepreneur Contest! Students can compete for $10,000 in prize money for their business or social enterprise idea.
The Augsburg Baby Shark Contest encourages students to explore their entrepreneurial potential, seek out new opportunities, and use the skills & knowledge they have acquired to launch a new business. This annual event is organized by the School of Business and is open to all current Augsburg University undergraduate & graduate students. In order to be eligible, students must be registered in the semester of competition with a valid Augsburg University student ID.
COMPETITION DETAILS
● Individuals & teams consisting of one to 4 students
● All academic schools/disciplines are eligible
● Business Ventures for students focused on more traditional commercial opportunities. These can be business-to-consumer, business-to-business, technology-based ventures, & are typically for-profit models.
● Social Ventures for students whose ventures are primarily focused on solving significant social problems — such as poverty alleviation, social injustice, and environmental sustainability – using entrepreneurial methods in order to craft innovative solutions that are effective and scalable.
