It’s Miller Time: Brewer Wants to Give You $50,000

Miller Brewing Company, one of America’s most iconic brands and most popular beers, wants to give you more than a nice cold one.  The Wisconsin-based brewer is revisiting its Miller Urban Entrepreneur Series (MUES), a 9 year-old business plan competition and seminar series designed to provide funding and resources to urban entrepreneurs to take their businesses to the next level.

This year, Miller’s MUES competition is offering entrepreneurs up to $50,000 (or one of four $25,000 grants).  To compete for this tidy sum, you’ll simply need to write a convincing business plan for either your existing business or your planned startup.  Your business must be less than 5 years old, and you (or your partners) must be U.S. citizen between the ages of 21 and 35.

Entries will be evaluated based on two criteria–your business plan (50%) and the viability of the company (50%).  The latter criteria involves an oral presentation.

Prior winners include a mobile beauty salon, a recycling company and a designer of recruiting software.

Applications are due December 1, 2008.
