Our Judges make sure the rubber meets the road.
There are two types of judges in the Washington Business Week program.
Trade Show Judges
Our Trade Show is an energy-packed event where students showcase their company's performance, its product and services. The objective is to convince you, a potential investor, that their company would be a good investment based on companys critical analysis of the market demand, target audience, and profitability of the venture. We load you up with some Business Week dollars to invest in the companies you see as the strongest. |
Stockholder Judges
Stockholder presentations focus on the company's financial performance, and how well the students articulate what they've learned. Presentations earn points for identifying the operations of a company and how it relates to business in general. |
