The Entrepreneurship Award is VERY different. I've heard of teams submitting 50+ page Business Plans. I understand that that is maybe necessary given a team's history but that would be extremely hard to judge. Restricting the characters and providing a pretty strict format will make it easier.

But holy cow(s) did the Business Plan portion change!!

I'm actually not sure if it did, and since I'm no longer a student, I can't check.

The manual states:

A formal business plan is submitted through STIMS at (https://my.usfirst.org/stims/site.lasso).

Then there's a bolded and udnerlined, "Business Plan Template"(which I believe was a hyperlink to a template last year) but then goes on to say that an executive summary must be filled out; is what's referred to as the "executive summary" replacing the business plan? It doesn't reference having to upload a PDF or anything.
