Competition Brief
ProX is a Real World Learning initiative providing summer professional experiences for high school students.
About
Our problem or question is “How can we connect the youth to government, and public service?” We’ve thought of a unique way that includes multiple parts to solve our problem. We’ve decided to have a cookout where the youth can enjoy free food while hanging out and learn from the legislators. In order to reach the youth, we’ve decided to make a tiktok in which we could team up with the Jackson County Media team to post. Our next steps would be to find a date, good timing, and an opportunity to do this event.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
