Make the judges' job challenging!

An application is a pitch to the judges in writing, according to their rules and criteria. Please join us for a two-webinar series to make sure that your application has "Perfect Pitch" for the ears of the judges.

Webinar 1: The Application (9 December)

We'll go through each aspect of the application together. You will learn how to address each question asked in a way that will help the judges see the benefit of including your startup in the competition. Questions are encouraged!

Here's what you will learn in webinar 1:

Overview of the rules & application
Critical items to address in each section
Do's and don'ts for each item
My best tool for writing a great application

Webinar 2: YOUR Application (13 December)

The second webinar will be fully interactive: We will go through selected parts of real applications submitted by volunteers. Do's and don'ts will be discussed, along with suggestions that will benefit everyone in the audience in creating their own applications.

If you are interested in getting direct feedback on your application, please submit a draft by 12 noon on Monday, 12 December to linda@planoandsimple.com. Do NOT include ANY proprietary information in your application!!!

Protect your IP!

While the webinar is being offered only to those interested in applying to the competition, you should not reveal proprietary information in this setting - nor in your final application.
