Why We Celebrate The Attempt
The Attempt Awards recognize the courage it takes to build something before you're "ready." It’s easy to praise perfect outcomes, but we believe the real value lies in the work itself. It is the decision to try, to take a risk, to learn in the real world. Whether your business took off or barely left the group chat, this award exists to honor the effort, insight, and self-growth that comes from putting yourself out there.
How It Works
We highlight one standout student submission from A Business Attempt. Selections are based on clarity, honesty, originality, and the depth of reflection, not based on profits. Winners are featured on the homepage, added to our Editor’s Picks, and receive a digital badge for their portfolio or resume. Submitting your story automatically puts you in the running. This isn’t about perfection, it is about showing up and doing the work.
