Encourage Entrepreneurs for the Storytelling Contest

To celebrate America’s entrepreneurial spirit for our nation’s 250th startup birthday, we’re looking for entrepreneurs who are making a difference in the lives of the people around them.  We need your help to find these heroes! 

The America the Entrepreneurial Storytelling Contest is a nationwide call to find the stories of how entrepreneurs are changing their families, communities, or beyond. Winners will get their stories promoted to a national audience through our nationwide channels. Your organization can get recognized too, as someone who helped them in their journeys. 

By promoting the contest, your organization can help lift up the heroic stories of entrepreneurs from your community that show how entrepreneurship changes lives and builds a stronger nation.

Invite your community to share their stories by answering one simple question: How has your work as an entrepreneur made a difference for your family, your community, or beyond?

To make it easy, your organization will receive a Storytelling Contest Toolkit with ready-to-share posts, graphics, and email templates you can send directly out to your community.

Benefits for partner organizations:
  • Featured recognition on the national campaign page
  • Access to packaged, shareable stories from entrepreneurs in your community
  • Social posts highlighting entrepreneurs your organization supports
  • Leaderboard visibility: the more entrepreneurs who reference your organization as part of their journey, the higher your logo rises on our national leaderboard
The national contest celebrates America’s 250th Startup Birthday and the entrepreneurial spirit that built our nation.
