Event Description:

Shark Tank Pitch

In this event, contestants can choose any item, made-up or already existing, to pitch to the audience. Items can be anything the contestant desires.

Similar to the TV show, a shark tank pitch combines informative and persuasive techniques to encourage members of the immediate audience and stakeholder “sharks” who serve as potential investors to respond favorably to the appeal. The speaker should carefully analyze this investor-based audience and develop an appropriate persuasive message for the product or service.

Visuals ARE allowed, but they must be items already located in your house. We do not encourage going out and buying materials, staying safe and maintaining social distancing is incredibly important.

Criteria for basis of judges decision: Topic, physical and vocal performance, organization, development and total effect

The suggested time limit for this event is 4-7 minutes.
