6. Why the Diamond Challenge?
World’s largest entrepreneurship competition
For any high school student who seeks to be a part of a life-long community of innovators and world changers
FREE
World-class experience in ideation, pitching, mentoring and networking
$100,000 in prizes for college or to fund your idea
(mention you get to meet people like Jason Feifer, Editor-In-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine as an example)

7. Growth
You can see a large amount of growth, in part due to the exponential demand in the international sites-this topic and opportunity resonates very deeply in countries that have had difficulty transitioning to a capital markets economy.
We’ve also added a fair amount of local interest, and even more so with our new signature event, the Youth Entrepreneurship Summit (YES)
We will also see a boost in local numbers for next year, first time to get many new people in a room.
And interestingly, though we didn’t succeed this year in gaining more momentum in Delaware, we did attract a record number of teams from the greater region: MD, PA, NJ, NY, so a great opportunity to get a variety of students on the UD campus
Not included in these numbers:
250 educators
Dozens of judges, volunteers, and other partners
