The contest is open to all South Florida residents aged 14 and up. It runs from Friday April 20th to Sunday April 23rd. The selection committee will only consider ideas that are viable and innovative. Ideas bound by Copyrights and/or Non-Disclosure agreements will be eliminated from consideration. All decisions are final. The top 10 ideas will be posted on Monday April 23rd for a public vote on Facebook: http://facebook.com/StartupWeekendFTL. 3 Winners will be announced on Tuesday April 24th.

Marc Lissade of Startup Broward states: "This is the golden age of entrepreneurial innovation. There has never been more available funding, free resources and affordable access to technology. Anyone can come up with an innovative idea but multiple hurdles hinder execution. How do you validate your idea, build a team and a prototype, then pitch it? Hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs worldwide have done just that through the Startup Weekend experiential learning program. You get to build a team, design a viable business model, validate your idea and build a minimum viable product with the help of experienced mentors. You then pitch your business to a panel of industry experts for invaluable feedback and prizes."
