The Marriott School of Business at BYU is proud to present our High School Business Language Competition (HSBLC) taking place Friday, December 8, 2023. The HSBLC provides an opportunity for high school students to apply their business and language skills outside their school environment, develop their presentation abilities, and use their creativity all while developing a business plan.

Each team must consist of three high school students that are currently enrolled in the sponsoring high school.

The competition will consist of two parts: a business plan development and a business plan presentation.

Business Plan Development

Each team will be given a product to market to a specific demographic. They will have approximately two weeks to learn about the product, learn about the target market, and develop a business plan to effectively market the product. You can find the marketing challenge on the Marketing Plan Prompt page.

Business Plan Presentation

Students will email their presentation and their business plans to businesslanguage@byu.edu on December 7, 2023, by 12:00 Noon (MST) A typed executive summary is also required.
