Lucas Buchanan, a senior at Dayton High, won first place.
Second place was Gustavao Villalobas and third place was Jasmine Soriano.
Students submitted their essay on the topic, "Promoting self-employment and entrepreneurship as a career choice in a post-COVID environment; why is it essential that young people change their mindset toward self-employment?”
“One of the tenets of the Adams Hub for Innovation is youth support; our young people tend to have fresh mindsets and a lot of energy. Youth entrepreneurs may be particularly responsive to the new economic opportunities and trends," Mike Smith, director of business development for NV Production House, said in a news release.
Winners were announced during the Adams Hub for Innovation Networking group session Dec. 2.
