Remember: you can save your submission as a draft, and work on it one bit at a time. Just be sure that you finish and enter by 2 p.m. EST on December 27.

Landlord reminder
Don’t forget—if you’re selected as a finalist, you will need to submit a signed landlord agreement to us within seven business days of notification. We strongly encourage you to begin this conversation with your landlord ASAP to ensure there are no surprises.

Keep spreading the word
One of the judging criteria for this competition is Potential for Industry Clustering (weighted at 30%). You’ll score higher in this category if other businesses in your area submit an application, so it’s really important to let other companies and landlords know about this offer. Feel free to share the above flyer with a small business or landlord nearby.
