About the Case Competition (Feb 12)
The 2026 UCLA Anderson Center for Media, Entertainment & Sports Entertainment Case Competition brings together MBA teams from top global business schools to analyze and present solutions to a real-world entertainment business challenge.
Participants will gain exposure to current issues shaping the media and entertainment landscape while competing for $4,000 in prize money and a 2026 summer internship with Paramount Studios.
*Only first-year students are eligible for the internship. Teams may include 2–5 full-time MBA students.
The competition consists of two rounds, with top-performing teams advancing to a final presentation evaluated by a panel of senior industry executives.
Case Competition participants also receive free admission to the PULSE Entertainment, Sports & Technology Conference on Feb 13.
