An early morning Tweet from @MichaelHyatt was a great first thing to read on this lazy Saturday morning.

Scribd and Thomas Nelson Publishers have teamed up to provide a cool $10,000 dollars cash to anyone willing to submit a proposal for their startup via Scribd!

Check this out for the blog press release:

In celebration of John Maxwell’s new book, Put Your Dream to the Test, Thomas Nelson Publishers, Scribd.com, Success Magazine, and SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) have created the Dream Test Competition—your chance to put a business dream to the test!

Upload your best original business proposal to Scribd before May 7, 2009 for a chance to win $10,000 in startup funding. A panel of industry experts at Success Magazine, SCORE, and Thomas Nelson will narrow the entries to 10 finalists. The Scribd community will then vote and select the $10,000 dream grand prize winner.

Go check it out if you’ve got a burning passion to build something or start your own biz. $10,000 isn’t much but if it’s an online venture it’ll be more than enough to get started. Check it out!
