The 2026 Madison College Pitch invites teen entrepreneurs to develop, refine and launch their business ideas, with a chance to win up to $500.
High school students will team up with college and industry pros to brainstorm ideas and make their pitch.
Students need to submit a video highlighting their business idea or product by March 30. Finalists will advance to compete in the live Madison College Pitch finale on May 1.
Oregon High School juniors Hadley Stang and Robert Daun won the competition in 2024 with their Vital Storm Drain project.
The Pitch is hosted by Madison College’s Center for Entrepreneurship and attracts participants from across the 12-country district the college serves. The center offers workshops, advice from experienced entrepreneurs and annual business planning contests to students and the community.
