To be eligible, all ventures must have a Whitman alumni or student founder or co-founder. Finalists will be notified by Friday, Sept. 16, and will deliver a 5-minute pitch to a panel of alumni judges followed by Q&A during the competition on Sept. 30.

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.
