Business World in the Classroom
2023 Competitions
The Wisconsin Business World works to engage students from all over the state as they compete in our two statewide competitions. Students are invited to participate in the Business is a Force for Good Essay Contest or our Culture and Innovation Competition. Educators are invited to apply for the Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology (MET) Education Impact Awards.
Business is a Force for Good Essay Contest
PRESENTED BY
Behind every great state are companies helping support local activities, individual livelihoods and strong communities through external efforts and strong internal workplace cultures.
Students are challenged to write an essay of no more than 1000 words highlighting why they love living in Wisconsin and to discuss at least one business that shapes their community and that embodies the message that Business is a Force for Good. |
Culture & Innovation Competition

In order to thrive, businesses need to constantly be thinking two steps ahead of today. The Wisconsin-based Kwik trip Corporation has generously partnered with the Wisconsin Business World to bring you our inaugural bi-annual statewide classroom Culture and Innovation Competition.
Students are invited to create a new product idea for the Kwik Trip Convenience Stores and creatively present the idea in a format of their choice: video essay, video commercial, written essay, recorded sales pitch, or other presentation style.
