The St. Louis Business Journal is sponsoring a competition for women entrepreneurs in conjunction with its annual Women’s Conference. The deadline to enter the Catapult Competition is Oct. 9, 2015, by 5:00 p.m. Entries must be in the form of a 60 second video explaining what you want to change and why you should be catapulted to success.

A local panel will be assembled to review and select four finalists to present at the St. Louis Business Journal Women’s Conference January 29, 2016. Each finalist will receive four months of professional coaching to prepare her business plan and refine her presentation. You may follow all four finalists and their respective coaches online and in print until the day of the Conference.

Each finalist and her coach will pitch to more than 1,000 women at the Conference who will vote to help decide the Catapult Competition winner. The winner will receive a $10,000 package of technology services from MasterCard to catapult her to success! For questions, please contact LaTonja Thomas at ltthomas@bizjournals.com or 314.421.8328.
