0California State University, Fresno student Justin Page has won a $5,000 first prize in a business innovation contest for his venture to produce and sell natural food products.



Page's idea, Dressings to Impress, would make condiments, marinades and salad dressings free of gluten, sugar, preservatives, dyes, trans fat, hydrogenated oil and other chemicals. He is the winner of the 2011 Student Venture Challenge, hosted by the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Fresno State.



Page is a senior business management major.



Winning a $2,500 award for second place, plus another $1,000 for the People's Choice Award, is Lyle Quillin, a senior entrepreneurship major. His business, Cal Services, would offer complete home services including pool care, lawn care, window washing, on-site car washing and detailing.



Quillin won the People's Choice Award based off of a online vote for his video pitch on YouTube.



The finalists presented their ideas April 30 to a panel of judges.
