Highlight what sets your business apart
There’s no other business quite like yours. You’ve poured your heart and soul into it and created something unique. Something innovative. Something that you continue to evolve and push forward. That story is one that only you can tell. And here’s how you’ll need to do it:
1. Create a FedEx account.
To enter the contest, you’ll need a FedEx account. If you don’t have one, you can create a new account now.
2. Start thinking about a short company profile.
Get ready to tell us about your business and what makes you unique or stand out from the competition. Why did you start this business? What does your company do? What do you do differently or better than your competitors? Are there any social causes that are important to your business? How would you use the winnings to enhance your business?
3. Have a copy of your logo available to upload along with some photos.
You’ll need a digital version of your current logo and several photos that best represent your business. Be sure your photos are formatted horizontally.
4. Develop an idea for a video.
You’ll have the option to create a two-minute elevator pitch video about your business. Be authentic and show us the things that make your business unique.
5. Review this example entry. This gives you a good overview of what a contest entry entails.
