StartupNation Announces “Capture the Flag” Contest

Birmingham, MI – StartupNation, the multimedia content company for entrepreneurs, announces its “Capture the Flag Contest.” By finding the flag icons at www.startupnation.com, participants have the chance to win daily prizes and a grand prize of $1,000.

How to Play

• StartupNation will post a flag icon somewhere on www.startupnation.com each weekday between Monday, Jan. 29, and Friday, Feb. 9, 2007.

• Each day of the contest, there will be a new forum post with a clue to finding and capturing each of the 10 flags.

• When you find a flag icon, “capture” it by clicking on the icon. You will automatically be taken to a page where you can enter the daily prize drawings.

• Each daily winner will receive $100 worth of products or services, and a grand prize winner of $1,000 will be drawn at the end of the contest.

• There will be a Double-Entry Bonus for contestants who participate using the e-mail address associated with their StartupNation member profile/nickname. By creating a free profile at www.startupnation.com, you can double your chances of winning.

“Some of the daily prizes will be fun, like $100 of pizza from your favorite pizza place,” says Joel Welsh, StartupNation Chief Community Officer. “On other days, the prize may be $100 worth of any product or service listed in the StartupNation Marketplace. And to help you learn more about using StartupNation and succeed in business, each daily clue includes a tip on how to make the most of the resources on the site.”
