I've participated in 3 pitching competitions at Edinburgh University. I won one of them and lost at the other two. The value I gained from them came in 3 categories: 1.) Networking 2.) Awareness among local startup scene 3.) MacBook Air ;P Seriously though, the contacts I've made at these events have been infinitely more valuable than the cash and assortment of juicy Apple products that I've won.
