Business is a Force for Good Essay Contest

Behind every product or service is a strong business doing work behind the scenes to support their employees, families, and communities.
Students are challenged to write an essay of no more than 1000 words highlighting an interesting product or service found in Wisconsin and the companies behind them, including how they support their employees, families, and communities. |
Culture & 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.
