Do you ever think about entering a contest, but then hesitate and think, “there’s no way I’ll win.” We’ve all been there. But entering the #StyleMyBiz contest will only take 5 – 10 minutes of your time – a small time investment for a chance to win $50, 000 worth of prizes to makeover and grow your own (or your favourite) business. This is an opportunity to prove why your business is great and why you deserve to win.

Any Canadian business can enter, #StyleMyBiz is for all local businesses that keep our neighbourhoods going.

Through #StyleMyBiz, we want to inspire, drive, and motivate business growth and success and to encourage everyone to support and cheer for their favourite local business.

The details 

#StyleMyBiz, presented by Soho and 411.ca, is an online contest for Canadian small to medium sized businesses with 50 employees or less – no business is too small.

The entry deadline has been extended to October 30th, so there is still time to enter your business.

Prizes

  • The CEO & Office Makeover winner will receive up to $50,000 in prizes & trips to grow their business
  • Businesses will also be entered to win a trip for 2 to Las Vegas
  • Canadians who nominate their favourite small business, as well as people who ‘cheer’ or vote for their favourite business, will also be entered to win the trip for two to Vegas 

Why should I enter?

Why not? #StyleMyBiz is an awesome opportunity to expand your business. Even if your business is already blooming, there’s always room for growth, and $50,000 worth of prizes is enough to makes your ideas reality.

BUT, you can’t win unless you enter the #StyleMyBiz contest.

To enter: Visit the #StyleMyBiz website

If you want to nominate a business, just enter your contact info and the business owner’s name, email, and the name of their company.

If you’re the business owner, you simply need to enter your info, as well as your business name, bio, size, and website. (Don’t have a one? We can help you get a business website)

You can increase your chances of winning by letting everyone know you’ve entered so they can ‘cheer’ you on. You can also add pictures and your social links to your profile to maximize your efforts.
