    The Pace Business Plan Competition has been hosted by the Department of Management and Management Science in the university’s Lubin School of Business since 2004. The competition takes place every spring semester and is open to both undergraduate and graduate students of Pace, as well as recent graduates (defined by organizers as those who have graduated within the past five years).

    The contest is not one of the larger competitions in existence. There are no preliminary rounds, just the judges’ determination of three finalists based on the written business plan and executive summary, and the cash prize from winning the competition is only a total of $500. (The two other finalists earn $250 each.)

Ball State University “Enterprise Creation Competition” Becomes The “Nascent 500”

    Ball State University’s Miller College of Business Entrepreneurship Center recently dropped the “Enterprise Creation Competition” name they’d been using for their business plan competition for the last decade – in favor of something with a little more pizzazz.

    ”How can we stand out from the dozens of other competitions around the country?” organizers must have thought to themselves. “Our university is just an hour from one of the most famous auto races in the world. Let’s give our competition an Indianapolis 500 theme. Everything will have to fit with 500.” So, starting with the 2006-07 contest, Ball State’s “Enterprise Creation Competition” became the “Nascent 500″.

    Wake Forest University’s New Venture Plan Competition is unique among business plan competitions because it allows potential business owners to submit ideas from all five of the university’s major disciplines: Arts and Performing Arts (art, dance, music, theatre); Humanities (history, languages, literature, philosophy, religion); Social Sciences; Natural Sciences; Web-based; and other commercial ventures. This allows students from all over the campus to participate in the program and use knowledge they have gained in all of their classes, while most business plan competitions are limited to only business school students.
