  • Tell your friends and family to vote by clicking "favorite" underneath the video. Voting begins on January 17, 2008, so get your entry in early to maximize your number of "favorite" votes!
  • The 20 entries that receive the most "favorite" votes as of April 1, 2008, will move on to the final round.
  • The 20 finalists will submit a short business plan and cover letter by May 1, 2008. These materials along with the original pitch will be judged by a panel of industry pros.
