The Dream Big Grow Here contest is back again with $15,000 in grants for one Iowa entrepreneur and smaller grants for several more.
An event we covered extensively last year, Dream Big Grow Here starts with a series of regional pitch contests across the state. The winners of those regional competitions win $5,000 grants. From there, regional winners advance to a statewide competition for a $10,000 grand prize.
The timeline for submitting entries and the specific rules for entry differ from region to region, but most of the regional contests began earlier this month and run until mid-October. To learn more about the Dream Big Grow Here contest in your neck of the woods, check the links below:
