on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021. Think of it like the show "Shark Tank" but a lot nicer.

The program will be held at Crissey Farm. 426 Stockbridge Road in Great Barrington from 5:30-8 pm. The venue requires proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test within 72 hours of the event.

EforAll held two very successful in-person Pitch Contests at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield back in October 2019 and at The Green in North Adams in February 2020, attracting over 100 community members for each event and dozens of participants. (3 virtual Pitch Contests were also held during Covid.)

Described as “Shark Tank without the teeth,” EforAll’s family-friendly, free event features networking, a business showcase, a light dinner and then pitches from 8 contestants.

Each participant is given 2.5 minutes to pitch a business or non-profit idea to a panel of judges and the audience. At the end of it, EforAll gives away seed money to help launch these ideas.

The first-place finisher wins $1,000; second place $750; third place $500; and audience favorite $500.
