  murphy_logo I just found out that the Murphy Enterprise Center at the University of North Texas is having a Venture Capital Contest.  Details and submission form are on the linked page.  From the website:
The New Venture Creation Contest (NVCC) is intended to simulate the real-world process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from early-stage investors and venture capital firms.  The NVCC is hosted by the Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship within the College of Business at the University of North Texas.
Highlights of the NVCC include: Real-world opportunities to learn what’s required to successfully launch a new venture  Chance to receive mentoring from investors and experienced entrepreneurs  Opportunities to network with local business leaders Educational seminars in specialized business practices High caliber judges who provide quality feedback  $50,000 in prize money  Broad media exposure
Application deadline is May 22nd and it's only open to UNT students.  I'm going to contact them and see if I can do some video recording and/or interviews.
