    Submissions are now open for the     Entrepreneurship & Libraries Pitch Competition: https://entrelib.org/elcpc2023/ 

    Five libraries will be selected to compete in the May 4 (3-4pm EST) pitch competition via Zoom, and all five libraries will win funding:

    1st place: $4,000 | 2nd: $2,500 | 3rd: $1,500 | 4th & 5th: $500

    The audience choice award will be an additional $1,000 for one of the 5 libraries.

    To help develop their pitches, the five competing libraries will receive free consulting with the ELC pitch consultant, Jenn Hensel of ElePitch.

    After the pitch event, all five libraries will be offered free mentoring with previous awardees and "Libraries Build Business" librarians to assist in completing their projects.

    Thank you to EBSCO and ALA–Libraries Build Business for sponsoring the event.
