Deadline for submissions is extended until August 12th

To kick off Nebraska Entrepreneur’s next video series we are turning directly to you to help highlight entrepreneurs and resource providers that you feel have a great story to tell.

Consider this: for entrepreneurs, we want those that have learned lessons from being in the trenches and want to share those experiences with others. For resource providers, we want those organizations that work with entrepreneurs to help make their ambitions a success rather than companies that are merely wanting to sell their product.

Nebraska Entrepreneur will choose the five best submissions. Winners will be contacted and a video shoot time will be setup. There is no charge for the video. The finished videos will then be posted on NebraskaEntrepreneur.com for all to enjoy and learn from. Below, you can see past interviews with an entrepreneur and resource provider or checkout the Video page to see all videos.

Submissions will be taken on our Facebook Page by commenting on the Post about this video contest. You can also post your nomination by commenting at the bottom of this page. Write a paragraph that tells us why this person or organization should be chosen. Nominate yourself or someone else. Deadline for submissions has been extended until August 12th.
