Your real odds
One winner is selected each year through a multi-round process that runs for a full month.
Judges score submissions across several rounds before a guest judge joins for final deliberations in Prescott, AZ, and finalists also receive a $1,000 cash prize, so reaching the final round has real value even without the top award.

Worth knowing
The 15 business questions are built to make you construct an actual business strategy, and judges have said these reviews go well beyond portfolio evaluation, so the written section deserves the same preparation you give your design work.
