Pitch your idea for a new business, blog or website and you could win $50,000 and the ideal .CO web address* to make it a reality.

Recently, we announced the global launch of the .CO domain. While it has been the domain for the country of Columbia, it is now available for the first time outside of that country.

To support this launch, the site Pitch.CO has a contest asking for your best business idea pitch and you can win $50,000. Here are the details:

Pitch it

Whether you’ve got a full plan ready to launch or just a few half-baked ideas drawn on the back of a napkin, it’s time to make your pitch! Clear your calendar for 30 minutes, get ready to focus and put your best pitch forward. Don’t worry about making it perfect – just have fun and make it happen. You’ll need the following details:

• A 60-second video or an image that will inspire

  Nothing gets people inspired like hearing a great new idea directly from you.

• A catchy title for your idea

  Half the battle in any contest is getting people to pay attention. How will you do it?

• A little plan

  This is where the rubber meets the road. How does your idea come to life (in 1,000 characters or less)?

• Your ideal .CO web address

  This is your chance to get the .CO web address you really want – choose wisely.

• Tell us about you

  Charm the voters and judges with a little story about yourself and your background.

Promote It

Once you enter the contest, use our easy promotional tools to start marketing it everywhere. Share it with your friends, update your status, tweet about it, call your relatives, tell a stranger, whatever it takes to get people to vote for your entry on Pitch.co! The top 30 vote-getters will be advanced to the finals where they will join a maximum of 8 pitches selected by the judges. Voting ends on June 14, 2010 at 11:59pm EST.
