It’s been a few months since our last NYC meet-up and, in an effort to find some of the best startups in New York for Disrupt this year, we’re planning a 60-second pitch-off competition. The winner will get free tickets and a spot in Startup Alley at the event. One runner-up gets two free tickets to the event. Disrupt NY is being held on April 27 – May 1, 2013 in Manhattan.

Pitch-off applications are closed and we have 20 teams lined up for your pitching pleasure. They will begin pitching at 7pm. It should be a hoot. Last year, we had over 1,200 attendees come to the meetup, so we know the Big Apple’s tech community is hungry for more social opportunities. We aim to please.

But whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, dreamer, or tech enthusiast, we want to see you at the event so we can give you free beer and hear your thoughts. Come one, come all. It’s sure to be a night to remember.

But before we get too excited, a few details:

The event will be held at a Santos Party House location in Manhattan on February 12, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm.

If you’d like to attend the event, please register on Plancast here.

Remember, to participate in Disrupt and the Pitch-Off you must have an unlaunched product (either in stealth or private beta) and you must be ready to launch in late April.

We’re looking for sponsors for our event, so if you’d like to purchase a sponsorship and be featured on all of our signage at the event, as well as a link and images in the event posts, please email events@TechCrunch.com.

Looking forward to another amazing evening in New York!
