Established artists, business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs with an arts-business idea are eligible to apply for the competition. A total of $4,000 in prize money, as well as in-kind business support, will be awarded to the top three submissions. To enter the competition, participants must go online and submit a two page Executive Summary and a video pitch that's no more than four minutes in length. The video pitch should address the following questions:
• What does your business idea entail?
• How is your business/idea unique in the marketplace?
• Why does it make good business sense?
• How would you use the prize money to further your business/idea?
Online applications and video submissions must be received by COSE no later than May 15th at 5PM EST. One round of judging will be conducted by a panel made up of experts from the local arts and business communities. Six Finalists will be recognized, and three Top Winners will be announced at the COSE Arts Business Challenge awards ceremony on June 20th at 78th Street Studios. The COSE Arts Business Challenge is open to businesses located in N.E. Ohio (Lorain, Medina, Cuyahoga, Summit, Lake, Geauga, Portage, or Ashtabula County) and to both COSE Members and Nonmembers alike.
