UNH’s own Shark Tank, Wildcat Tank, is right around the corner and submissions are open!

This year’s grand prize is $1,000, with $2,000 of total prizes provided by the Patten Family Foundation and Maurice Prize.
To enter your idea into the competition, students must fill out a two page written submission (see guidelines unheclub.com) due Friday the 18th. Fifteen semi-finalists are then chosen to present a one minute elevator pitch on October 21st, at 6pm in the Strafford room. Judges will deliberate, then select six finalists to present their 5 minute presentations, which are each followed by a Q&A. After all presentations, judges will select first ($1,000), second ($500) and third place ($350) winners, the crowd selects the people’s choice award ($250) and all competitors will be entered into a raffle for four $25 gift cards. Please submit your submission to UnhEclub.com. To learn more about the event, please visit our website.
