Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award - Final Presentation Round

Tulsa, OK - Three Tulsa entrepreneurs will soon be receiving checks of $30,000, $5,000 and $2,500 from SpiritBank for competing in the Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award business model competition. Over eighty hopeful entrepreneurs submitted business plans for their ideas in April, and in less then two weeks, a winner will be announced.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, the seven finalists will have one more opportunity to present a two minute overview of their business model to the panel of Spirit Award judges. Judging will be held at the offices of SpiritBank, 18th Street and Baltimore Avenue, 10th Floor Board Room. Presentations will be held in the afternoon, and some businesses are allowing media in the presentation room as they pitch. Each finalist will give their two minute overview then be questioned for up to 15 minutes by the judges.

The Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award winners will be announced at the awards ceremony during Global Entrepreneurship Week, on Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Tulsa Community College, Center 4 Creativity, 910 S. Boston.

Reservations to the Mayor's Entrepreneurial Spirit Award Ceremony on Nov.17 can be made to Michelle Allen at communicationdept@cityoftulsa.org.
