Since AWeber introduced email automation to the market in 1998, thousands of small businesses and nonprofits have leveraged the power of its email marketing and automation platform to build stronger relationships with their customers and communities.

Now, as a way to continue that support and celebrate its 20th anniversary, AWeber will award $20,000 to one small business or nonprofit to help them make an even bigger impact for the people they serve.

“Ever since I started AWeber 20 years ago, our main mission has been to help small businesses and nonprofits connect people in remarkable ways,” said Tom Kulzer, founder and CEO at AWeber. “This award is a way for us to not only celebrate an important milestone in our company’s history, but more importantly to reward the accomplishments of the incredible businesses and charities that we serve, and to help them make an even bigger impact in the world.”

The Small Business, Big Impact Award is open to all U.S.-based small businesses and nonprofits with 50 or fewer employees.

To enter the contest, small businesses and nonprofits must submit an up to 90-second video or 300-word essay describing their small business or nonprofit and answering the questions, “How are you making a big impact, and how would you use $20,000 to make an even bigger impact in the lives of your customers and community?”

The entry period begins October 15, 2018 and ends January 4, 2019.

A panel of judges, with representatives from AWeber and the contest’s supporting sponsors, including SCORE, a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses through education and mentorship, will select 20 finalists. The finalists will be presented for public voting from January 21, 2019 through February 8, 2019.

The winner of the award will be announced during a live broadcast on February 21, 2019.
