The folks up in Gwinnett have put together a nice little business plan competition called the Gwinnett Innovation Challenge 2007.

They have a prize package of over $100,000 that will be split between a seed stage and growth stage company. $45,000 of the prize is cash. Like Marc said “money is money.” I suppose free services are money too.

The only restriction is that the entrant must demonstrate a connection to Gwinnett County, as a result of being located there or having a member of the management or business plan team living, working or attending school in Gwinnett.

It looks pretty easy to enter and the deadline to do so is March 11.
