SBA Says: Tell Us Your Story!

Video contest will showcase successful small businesses; Winning videos to be highlighting during National Small Business Week
Do you have a small business story to tell? Every business has one. Tell your story to the SBA and your video may appear at National Small Business Week, SBA's marquee event that attracts hundreds of small business owners, Fortune 500 company executives, Members of Congress and Obama Administration officials.
In celebration of National Small Business Week 2012, SBA is looking for creative videos from small businesses that show how they have been helped by an SBA program or service.  The contest will raise awareness of the importance of SBA programs, and the impact the small businesses that use them have in their local communities.
Three winning videos will also be shown during a Google+ Hangout hosted by the SBA and the White House with SBA Administrator Karen Mills on May 23. The winners can also participate in the event with Administrator Mills, while she answers questions from small businesses around the country.  All qualifying videos will be showcased on SBA's YouTube page.
