SUMMARY:20th Annual What's Your Big Idea? Entrepreneurship Contest Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating 20 years! The Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce\, in partnership with the Arlington ISD\, is proud to offer the “What’s Your Big Idea?” Entrepreneurship Contest (WYBI).  WYBI is the largest curriculum-based entrepreneurship contest in the United States\, and it was created by Arlington ISD students twenty years ago. With 47\,000+ big ideas submitted over a two decades\, we’re proud to say WYBI is still fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in 3rd-12th graders. \nThis contest has and continues to challenge and empower tens of thousands of students to think big and dream even bigger by thinking critically to produce creative solutions to everyday challenges and problems. These skills are vital to our workforce and the future success of our community. \nThe annual awards ceremony for WYBI brings 700+ Arlington ISD students and their families to UTA’s College Park Center\, totaling 3\,200+ attendees. This is an opportunity to connect with the community with a strong\, positive message. “We support the future leaders and entrepreneurs of greater Arlington. We support thinking BIG.”
