Submission to the ELC 2023 Pitch Competition

Please provide a 400-600 word submission (total) covering the 7 prompts listed in the form below. Remember that your pitch's target audience is community partners, not librarians.

The focus is how your library can support local economic development, workforce development, job hunters, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and/or small businesses. For 2023, the ELC is particularly interested in pitches that focus on local equity issues or marginalized populations and communities.

See https://entrelib.org/elcpc2023/ for more information, policies, and resources, including a video recording of the ELC "Pitch Perfect" workshop.

To choose the 5 libraries invited to compete in the pitch competition, submissions will be evaluated on these 7 prompts as well as “How much focus is there on local equity issues or a marginalized population and community?” and “How interesting is this submission overall?”

The submission deadline is March 24, 2023
The 5 pitch finalists will be notified on April 3, 2023

Please email Steve Cramer, smcramer@uncg.edu, with questions. Thank you and good luck!
