The Zingale Big Idea Competition focuses on seed-level new business ideas. The annual competition will award a total of $30,000 in prize money among the student winners.

This contest emulates the experiences seen on the popular CNBC broadcast, Shark Tank, but with a heart. Unlike Shark Tank, the Zingale Big Idea distinguished panel of judges do more than evaluate business models – they offer constructive feedback, coaching and encouragement.

The final schedule will be posted on Gator Hub and the Center for Business and Economics Group.
