Another Small Business Contest from Forbes.com


This one can win you a hundred grand (not the candybar).

We've been writing about small business contests a lot around here lately, so why stop now? Add a contest from Forbes.com to the list.

Sponsored by HP, Forbes.com is presenting it's second annual "Boost Your Business" editorial contest with Round 1 lasting through May 31st. The entire contest runs through November.

To enter the contest, submit a 500-word write-up about your small business including a description of your business model along with current capitalization and an investment plan for the prize money you win.

 The contestants will then be narrowed down to 20 semi-finalists. Those who make it through Round 1 will be asked to provide more information, including a 30-second "elevator pitch" video recording. Finally 5 finalists  will compete for the grand prize ($100,000).

Finalists will be asked to present much more detailed versions of their business plans and will be judged by a panel to determine the winner. The winner will then be awarded in December.

 "Forbes.com is thrilled to offer entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their businesses and sell their ideas to a discerning audience of readers and investors," said Brett Nelson, Forbes.com Entrepreneurs Editor.

Forbes will make appearances at various (as of yet unannounced) small business events around the U.S. in the "2008 Boost Your Business Bus". See details and updates (like scheduling) at the Forbes Boost Your Business page.
