USC's Silicon Beach Awards and Presentations (Discount Code)

I was just down at Demo Day for the USC Incubator.  They had some pretty high quality companies presenting.  I just found out about a great award opportunity for people connected to USC (or who can figure out a connection in time).  I also have a discount code below for the event.

USC’s Marshall School of Business will host the second annual Silicon Beach Awards (SBAs), a $50,000 venture competition focused on innovation in technology & entertainment. The SBAs are a key part of the http://siliconbeachusc.com/ event which is co-sponsored by USC’s Marshall School of Business, School of Cinematic Arts, and Viterbi School of Engineering. Startups that consist of at least one USC student or alum (less than 10 years from graduation) are encouraged to enter – and have a chance of winning up to $25,000!

Silicon Beach Awards deadline is September 2!!
