The 2012 Brown-Forman Cardinal Challenge at the University of Louisville is all about big ideas, starting with $30,000 in cash awards and an opportunity to grab an automatic invitation to Venture Labs Investment Competition.
Our annual business plan competition regularly attracts the biggest thinkers in grad school entrepreneurship—many of our competition teams go on to win national and international prizes.
We’re big on guarantees, too. We guarantee you’ll get at least $750 just for participating and we’re certain your team will leave Louisville a better team than when it arrived.
Our judges are big thinkers, too. Their feedback has a way of making good business plans better and better plans great.
But no matter how big your idea, you can’t win if you don’t apply.
