marketing, software engineering, start-up enterprise, virtual multimedia and promotion, virtual branding,
and web and mobile applications.

National Showcase Guidelines

  • Competitor(s)/Team(s) will promote their project through a live, in-person presentation.
  • The competitor(s)/team(s) with the highest score from the National Showcase in each of the Virtual Events will be named the "Best in Show" for that event and recognized during the National Showcase.
  • Please remember, this is separate from the individual virtual events and will not affect the results of the overall judged contests.
  • It is possible that an entry could place first in the judging component event and not be considered “Best of Show.”
