This tells me it was a poorly organised competition to begin with. The blurb clearly indicates it's for new companies/ideas (for some definition of new). However, the eligibility criteria only states that you are a US (Mastercard?) cardholder (i.e. no restrictions).
I'm not much impressed with the judges either. How the fuck is a pitch for a new idea meant to compete with one that's already a going concern?
"sign up to pitch your new business idea" and "... on the final day (3/15), the best Priceless Pitch will be awarded a $15,000 grand prize to help bring the idea to life." [1] -- emphasis added.
