The Utah Real Estate Challenge (UREC) is a real estate development plan competition for collegiate, University and graduate 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 2010 Utah Real Estate Challenge participants include teams from: Brigham Young University, Salt Lake Community College, University of Utah, Utah State University, Weber State University and Westminster College. The UREC provides the six finalist 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 on April 22, 2010, to the team with the most plausible and promising real estate development plan. Secondary prizes of $2,000 will also be awarded to each of the six finalist teams. The UREC is directed by volunteer members of the real estate community and students.
