The Utah Real Estate Challenge

The Utah Real Estate Challenge (UREC) is a real estate development plan competition for students throughout the state of Utah. The competition fosters the understanding of real estate development at the college and university level by giving students a chance to organize, direct, and present a plan to develop a real estate project to a panel of judges. The UREC provides teams with educational forums, mentors, and other resources to prepare them for the competition and aid them in the creation and implementation of their real estate plan. A grand prize of $20,000 will be awarded to the team with the most plausible and promising real estate development plan. Second, Third, and Fourth prizes are $5,000, $3,000, and $2,000 respectively.
