Wisconsin Business World, an affiliate of WMC Foundation, announced three winners of its biannual essay contest, sponsored by ITU AbsorbTech. Wisconsin Business World hosts numerous student competitions throughout the year structured around the theme, “Business is a Force for Good.”

In an essay of under 1,000 words, students were asked to describe a Wisconsin-based company, its product or service, and why it is a “force for good.” Students described how the company of their choice supports its employees, families, and communities.

The winners of Wisconsin Business World’s essay contest include:

  • Simone Burnett, grade 11 at Reedsburg Area High School;
  • Jonathan Lee, grade 11 at Nicolet High School; and
  • Caleb Wier, grade 12 at Craig High School.

Winning entries highlighted Racine-based O & H Danish Bakery, Milwaukee-based Miller Brewing Company, and Minong-based Jack Link’s. Burnett, Lee, and Wier each received a cash prize of $500.
