Virtual business Challenge

Virtual Business Challenges, or VBCs, are online business simulations. There are two main types - stock market and running businesses. These events take place in two rounds - one in the early fall and one towards the end of winter. By placing in the top two in an event in your state, in either round, you move on to compete at Internationals. These VBCs can be completed in teams of 1-3 participants.

For the Stock Market Game, in addition to participating in the online simulation, it is required that each team writes a 10 page paper in order to describe their investment project, and have 15 minutes of presentation time in front of the judges at State to discuss the project. For the other VBCs, it is only required that the team participates in the online simulation.
