First Look West, a clean-energy business plan competition, seeks applicants with ready-to-go businesses or business concepts.

The contest, also called FLoW, offers a first prize of $100,000, a second-place prize of $60,000 and third-place prize of $40,000. It also offers mentoring programs, legal startup packages and the chance to pitch ideas to investors.

The top three FLoW finalists will become semifinalists in the 2012 Cleantech Open competition and receive invites to the Cleantech Open National Academy-West Coast.

Entry deadline for FLoW, which is open to students attending accredited universities throughout the Western U.S., is Feb. 28. Final judging will be April 30 and May 1 at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.

Winning teams from six regions will compete in June at a competition held at the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C.
