Two judge\u2019s panels will determine the six finalist undergraduate teams. The six undergraduate finalist teams, along with the six graduate finalist teams, will compete in the last round of oral presentations for first-, second- and third-place prizes April 5 at The Chancellor Hotel.  \u201cThe critical thinking and hands-on development required of this competition benefits the students throughout their lives,\u201d said C. Sam Walls, chief executive officer of the Arkansas Capital Corporation and chairman of The Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation. \u201cWhether the students who compete in the competition go on to launch the businesses they developed through the Governor\u2019s Cup program or go on to be successful business leaders in other areas, the skills acquired are invaluable.\u201d  Again this year, teams will compete for cash prizes totaling $154,000, which will be awarded Wednesday, April 10, at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.
