The prize money for Orange Tank 2022 will total $42,000. Thanks to the generosity of Whitman Advisory Council member and lifetime Syracuse University Trustee John Couri ’63 (A&S), the grand prize award for the overall winning venture will be $25,000.
Three ventures will be selected to pitch in both the Alumni and Student categories. The following cash prizes will be awarded in each category:
First – $5,000
Second – $2,500
Third – $1,000
The overall winner between the two first-place ventures in each category will receive the $25,000 grand prize, so contestants will be competing for as much as $30,000.
Questions should be directed to Todd Moss at tmoss@syr.edu.
