A friend just notified me of the Idea Pitch Competition at Penn State. This event is hosted by the Smeal College of Business and the Farrell Center for Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Not only is the Idea Pitch Competition great practice for courting investors about a groundbreaking business idea, but there are also cash prizes. Unlike many on-campus competitions, there won’t just be faculty members judging the event. Nittany Lion Venture Capital and several angel investors from across Pennsylvania will be present to offer real-world judgment. Meanwhile, the three best business ideas will win $1,000, $500, and $250. Following the competition, referring back to the Lion Launch Pad, the winning team can then move right into an office space at the Lion Launch Pad to work on their idea.
Learn more about the Idea Pitch Competition at its official website or the Penn State Live article.

Just to be straight, check the rules where it says:
“…introduction to the Lion Launchpad for start-up companies…”
I believe the Lion Launch Pad is full so I don’t know how they can promise that the winner can just move in.
Get a part time job for a few months, you’ll get $1000 for sure that way.
