$50,000 For Best Business Idea
Starting a new business is never simple. From the technological issues to funding, entrepreneurs face hundreds of potential headaches as they try to get their startups off the ground.
Amazon is hoping to alleviate those headaches for one lucky entrepreneur with its “Amazon Web Services Start-Up Challenge.”
The contest is aimed at startups and software developers who may need online-software services to launch their company. Through Amazon’s Web Services, entrepreneurs can rent those services, such as data centers and servers, to save money during the early stages of business.
The entrepreneur with the most original and promising business venture will win a cash prize of $50,000, along with $50,000 in Amazon Web Services credits, mentoring services and a financing offer from Amazon.
To enter, you must submit an online application by October 28. From there, five finalists will be chosen and announced in November, when Amazon community members will vote for their favorite startup.

Another great contest! Its cool to see the ideas Amazon and other business start up companies come up with. Some entrepreneur is going to get a good boost by winning this contest, thats pretty cool.
Not only is it a great branding opportunity for Amazon, it will also give the new start up a bunch of free PR. We have all heard its in the win-win that success is made and I think this is a good example.
