UWM students who are new to pitching and those who are experienced can pitch their ideas in the Pitch In at Light Speed contest from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21. It includes $2,500 in awards from the UWM Foundation that are made possible by Northwestern Mutual. Register by Oct. 13.<\/p>\n<p>First-time pitchers will be able to work closely with professionals from Y.E.S., Northwestern Mutual and others who have a start-up business venture to develop an impactful pitch. Later, three winners will be selected as a winner of the entry-level competition. These winners will receive $100 awards each.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have more experience delivering pitches, it is strongly recommended to submit additional information in the registration to compete separately for a larger prize in the experienced-level category. Participants are competing for: first place, $1,000; second place, $700; and third place, $500. The experienced-level pitchers will be notified that they qualify for the advanced competition one week before the event via phone and email.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, go to the <a
