The Finalists:
Once the application period closes, applications will be shortlisted, and finalists will be selected to participate in a live Chamber Challenge event, where they will present to a panel of local business leaders.

The Chamber Challenge Champions:
The first, second, and third-place winners of the Chamber Challenge will be selected immediately after the event and will receive cash prizes during a formal presentation.
