Community voting

One of the most exciting features of Hatch Bloomington is that the community plays a big role in deciding which business ideas will receive the contest award.

Last year's winners pose with a giant $100,000 check.

Top 3: Who will you vote for?

In the final stage, the “Hatch Off” round on September 3, the Top 3 finalists will present their business ideas in more detail, live in front of the public and the Hatch judging panel.

During the week following the Hatch Off event, the public can cast a vote to help choose the contest winner.

Voting will be open after the Top 3 pitch event and will remain open through Tuesday, September 9, at 11:59 p.m.

The winner will be announced on September 10.
