New Ideas competition

The competition is focused on exploring the different ways business can be a force for good in society. Students studying any major in their freshman, sophomore or junior year are eligible. Grand prize winners will participate in a three day, all-expenses paid trip to the Duke campus in April 2026 to present their proposals to influential business leaders, engage in professional development programming, and network with members of our community.
