Come see UNH’s top student entrepreneurs and innovators pitch their business plans to a panel of industry-leading judges in the 33rd annual Paul J. Holloway Prize Competition. We know you’re likely tired of virtual meetings and webinars, so we’re keeping this year’s competition as close to the original as possible. 

While the audience will be virtual, the event is being broadcast live from the Paul College auditorium, where the student teams will present their business plans from the stage in a professionally filmed production. $30,000+ is at stake, with the winning team taking home $15,000 to launch their business to the next level. Audience members also will have a pivotal role in choosing the People’s Choice award-winning team that will net $2,000 (information on how to vote will be available at bit.ly/holloway reg in early May).
