Do you have Britain's best new business?

[Becky Midgley]

We are proud to present to you The Pitch 2011 (http://www.thepitch2011.com/enter).

Now in its fourth year, The Pitch offers entrepreneurs from around Britain the opportunity to pitch their business to a panel of expert judges and a live audience for the chance to win £50,000 worth of business support and the title of Best New Business.

In 2011 The Pitch will hold heats during the summer in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast and London. The winners from each heat and a wildcard finalist chosen by the public will pitch for a final time at the grand final in central London on 18 November for the prize package.

The Wales heat will be held in Cardiff on 12th July, with the deadline for entries 12th June. Enter and get more information here (http://www.thepitch2011.com/enter).

If you don't meet the criteria to enter, then why not be in the audience (http://www.thepitch2011.com/national-heats)? It's always an exciting day, with the finalists' pitches made live on stage, and talks and networking happening throughout the day.

The Pitch is a Sift Media event, in partnership with BusinessZone.co.uk, sister site to UK Business Forums

Hi Becky,

I've just launched a UK version of an overseas internet marketing business. It's a membership site with all the information that you need to generate quality leads from the internet. Would that be eligible?
