The judges will award first ($2,500) and second place ($1,000) winners, but YOU and the spectators vote for a People's Choice Award worth up to $500. The Top Gun Pitch winner moves on from this regional competition to the Top Gun Showcase at the Maine Entrepreneurs Summit on May 16th.Registration is requested, but not required.
