Students learn the value of free enterprise

Students from local high schools will participate in Valdosta State University's fourth annual Free Enterprise Bowl, sponsored by Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), on Feb. 27, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., in the University Center Theater.

The morning session will feature a question and answer competition dealing with supply and demand, opportunity costs, taxes, international trade, types of businesses and entrepreneurship.

The afternoon session will focus on teams presenting their business plan, which will be judged based on presentation skills, content of the business plan, creativity, professional dress and viability of the product.

An award ceremony will follow at the close of the competition.
