Demand Media and Vator.tv have announced a new competition aimed at finding the next great new media company. The winner will get an opportunity to meet with Demand Media’s M&A team (the company recently added $100 million to its war chest) and a variety of freebies from Sun Microsystems, VeriSign, and Visible Technologies. If you would like to participate, you can register at Vator.tv, where you will then want create a profile and submit a video or presentation outlining your business.
The competition will be narrowed down to 25 companies at the end of January, and then to a final five the following month, at which point the winner will be chosen by a panel of judges. We’re excited to announce that Mashable founder Pete Cashmore will be one of the judges, joined by Richard Rosenblatt, CEO of Demand Media, Vator CEO Bambi Francisco, VentureBeat’s Matt Marshall, and several other leading industry figures.
