SIFE Competition and Judging Criteria

Each spring, SIFE teams from across the country and around the world come together for Regional, National, and International competitions. The pressure is on for the teams as they present their high-powered 24-minute presentations detailing what they have accomplished during the academic year.

Judges at the competitions are business leaders and corporate executives from Fortune 500 and other companies. These judges then select the team from each league that best meets the judging criteria.

The Overall SIFE Judging Criteria are:

• How effectively did the SIFE team measure and demonstrate that it created economic opportunity by helping others:
  • Understand how a market based economic system operates?
  • Acquire the education and skills training needed to succeed in a dynamic, competitive global economy?
  • Learn how to succeed as an entrepreneur and/or improve an existing business?
  • Develop the personal financial management skills necessary to achieve financial independence?
  • Understand that the long-term success and prosperity of a market economy, businesses and individuals are dependent on ethical business practices?
• How successfully did the team develop and execute a strategy to ensure the long-term sustainability of their team and educational programs?
