Want a shot at winning a slice of a $10,000 prize? If you are a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State student with a great entrepreneurial idea, you can enter the university’s annual student pitch contest, which has a $10,000 prize. The contest’s official name is BulbHead.com Bright Ideas Inventors Day for Aspiring Entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
Here’s the scoop:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ELIGIBILITY: Open to any currently enrolled Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State student, undergrad or grad. Individual students can’t pitch<\/span>; they must be part of a student team (minimum of two Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State students on a team). Everyone on the team must be a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State student. Student teams can receive outside help (ie, they may bring onboard a non-MSU student to be a web developer or advisor) but only Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State students can pitch for the prize. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State students who pitched in this contest in the past are eligible, and can even keep the same team intact; however, they need to pitch a completely new idea.<\/p>\n
\nAnyone who does not follow the rules will be automatically eliminated (examples of why a team might be eliminated: video longer than 2 minutes, exec summary longer than one page, required info missing from executive summary, etc. Note that these are examples, not a full list.). Video and exec summary are due by 5 p.m. March 15 to PitchContest@montclair.edu<\/a>. Students must use their Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State email address when applying. \u00a0By\u00a0April 1, students will be notified if they move on to the prelim round of the May 3 pitch<\/span> contest.<\/div>\n
