It's that time of year - NCAA Basketball March Madness! Or if you're that sales guy who runs the office pool - possibly the most wonderful time of the year!

So we thought we give our readers (college hoops fans and non-fans alike) a chance to do what we all do best - pitch ourselves & our wares!

Welcome to the 2009 March Madness 'Elevator Pitch' Contest!

Go ahead & give your company, product, service & yourself some much deserved publicity. Enter your best elevator pitch on the contest site.

Of course there are some contest rules, but there are also some great guest judges & most importantly cool prizes - including a $150 & $50 AMEX gift cards.

The top 16 pitches will compete head-to-head on this blog as you the readers vote via web polling. The final winner will be announced on Monday April 6th.

So Give Us Your Best Elevator Pitch! Enter the contest!

All entries must be received by 12PM (ET) on Friday March 13th.
