Pitch-Burgh is a pitching and innovation contest for entrepreneurs. The announcement was made on Dries Buytaert's blog and was inspired by the American television program "Shark Tank." 'Pitch-Burgh' is a fitting moniker for the competition that will take place in conjunction with DrupalCon Pittsburgh.
The Drupal Association has secured over $75,000 to be distributed among the most compelling proposals received by May 25th, with no minimum limit on the size of the proposals, meaning a $1,000 "quick fix" is just as eligible as a $20,000 proposal.
