The SBA Patriot Pitch is more than a contest – it showcases the grit and ingenuity of American entrepreneurs.

Ten semifinalists will be announced this summer at the Great American State Fair, with five advancing to the final competition in Washington, D.C. scheduled tentatively between September 8 and September 18, 2026. All applications are due by June 10, 2026, at 11:59 pm ET.
