Photo Recap: The Gigabit Challenge Finale

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SPENCER WALSH, PISCATOR MEDIA


We captured some of our favorite moments from The Gigabit Challenge Finale and want to share them with you.  It was an incredible event for all involved--from judges to Finalists to volunteers...and especially for us, the Think Big team.  Thanks to all for making this KC event a success!


Senator Jerry Moran announced his STOP SOPA stance and welcomed all to The Gigabit Challenge.
Finalists were competing for 3 prizes: The People's Choice Award, the Born
Global Award ($250,000) and the Grand Prize ($100,000).
Judges had the chance to ask each of the 17 Finalists questions about their business.
