# Angels among us? Only if you apply by January 7

[![OEN](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/logooen.gif?w=925)](http://oen.org "OEN")It’s that time of year again.

Time for a bunch of startups to begin vying for funding via [Angel Oregon](http://www.oen.org/events_ao.aspx "Angel Oregon"), the annual competition from the [OEN](http://oen.org "OEN Oregon Entrepreneur Network") that pits startup against startup during stumping sessions at PubTalks. Why? Hopes of securing some much needed funding for their companies.

> OEN’s Angel Oregon is the nation’s premier investor/entrepreneur matchmaking event. Angel Oregon brings together Oregon and SW Washington’s brightest entrepreneurial talent with qualified angel investors. The top six companies who apply, including the OEN Seed Oregon PubTalk winner, will present at the OEN Angel Oregon conference on March 12th at the Governor Hotel. Two investment prizes will be awarded by a final vote of the OEN Investment Committee.

In 2007, an [architectural software company](http://www.m-six.com/ "M-Six") walked away with the prize. In 2008, it was an [apparel company](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/03/05/oen-announces-the-winner-of-angel-oregon-and-its-not-a-tech-company/ "Angel Oregon 2008 winner"). Could this be the year that a Silicon Forest Web company takes the big prize? I don’t know. Are you going to apply?

You have until the [end of the day on January 7](http://community.oen.org/blogs/oen_blog/2009/01/05/reminder-deadline-to-apply-for-oens-angel-oregon-is-wednesday-january-7 "Angel Oregon deadline is January 7") to get registered. Go get ’em, tiger.
