Michigan Women Forward are sharing an exciting funding opportunity with the entrepreneurs of Michigan. Today, MWF are announcing their 53 Voices Challenge, which is a pitch competition for women to win up to $5,350 and receive technical assistance training.   

Attached is their flyer.  They want to reach as many women entrepreneurs (and future women entrepreneurs) as possible.

Can you pitch your business idea using only your voice? Michigan Women Forward (MWF) is teaming up with Fifth Third Bank and challenging women across the state to record their best business idea for a chance to win cash prizes. All you need is a recording device (a phone works well!) and a short description of your idea to start or grow a business. 53 finalists will be selected to win $100 and will receive training on accounting, marketing, and pitching. The top 10 finalists will be selected to win an additional $250 and create a video that will be voted on for additional grand prizes up to $5,000! 

More information and application can be found here: https://miwf.org/wei/womanup-programs/53-voices-challenge/. Applications open August 2 and will remain open until August 18. Contact us by emailing microloan@miwf.org with any questions.
