Radcliff, KY · July 27, 2026

Monday morning rolls in quietly following a calm weekend, clearing a clean slate for entrepreneurs and community planners as August approaches.

📰 The Lead

Local innovators and startup founders can officially pitch their ideas for regional support starting today as video submissions open for the annual Hardin County Pitch Competition. Organized to foster local economic growth, the initiative invites small business owners and creators to submit three-minute introductory videos detailing their products, services, and growth potential. Six finalists will ultimately be selected to pitch live before judges and community leaders during an August event at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, competing for prize packages designed to accelerate business development. Organizers note that the submission window runs strictly through August 3, giving prospective applicants just one week to finalize their video pitches. Aspiring participants can access submission guidelines and portal details through the Radcliff Small Business Alliance online channels.
