The Innovation Mapping duo was selected out of 29 entries, a fact that might help them keep their confidence.“I like our chances,” said Holloway.“I think our chances are as good as any. It will boil down to the presentation.”The Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship at Purdue University administers the annual contest, which is also held on Purdue's West Lafayette and Calumet campuses. The second place team will win $15,000 and the third place team will win $10,000.The competition begins at 9 a.m. at IPFW's Kettler Hall, Room 243.An awards ceremony will begin Friday afternoon at 1:15 p.m., when the winning team will be announced.
