Business competitions ask you to pitch a startup idea, write a business plan, solve a case, manage a mock investment portfolio or answer economics questions. Many are team events, and some are run through school clubs.
Pitch and plan competitions reward a clear problem, a realistic customer and numbers that add up. Case and investing contests reward practice, so look at past rounds before you enter.
