Opportunity is Knocking! Open that door!

Perhaps you have seen a business competition advertised lately. Or, perhaps you have seen multitudes of competitions advertised, and feel a little overwhelmed.

Maybe you have a great idea, but you’re not sure how to get that idea off the ground and running. Maybe you spend a lot of time writing, and think your skills are worthy of greater readership than your mother.

The students at the Presidio Graduate School are here to help you. We’ve noticed all the great competitions out there, where students and professionals can enter their essays or business plans. In fact, there are so many competitions, we’ve decided to create One Killer List that brings all the information into one place. Check out the list attached. You can click "Add Row" to put in a competition that's missing, or click the "Factual" icon to see a full-screen version of list. (For more info on the tool we're using for this, check out this article.)

At Presidio, we know that competition is healthy, and we love all things open-source. So we would like to invite you to use and collaborate on our list. We might be missing some competitions, and we want to know about them! Help us improve the list, and get in on the competitions!

These competitions are wonderful sources of feedback, idea development, networking, and of course, prize money. One great idea can garner publicity, investors and an army of eager helpers. We want to see these awesome competitions flourish, as well as the wonderful ideas of sustainably minded-folks out there. After all, if we want to improve our world, we’re all in this together.

We’ll see you at the competition. Be sure to throw us a high five ;)
