Win a brand makeover and free website for your startup (CONTEST)

Jun 27 2017, 12:51 am

Nowadays, everyone has an idea.

And whether your startup sells selfie lights or sources secondhand clothes, you share something special in common with other entrepreneurs.

And that’s the desire to grow. To be liked. To generate revenue and to add something new to the market. But one of the main challenges is that many startups lack an identity that people relate to, and that means it’s difficult to gain traction and move in the right direction.

That’s where branding comes in.

With solid branding and a website, you can make major milestones with your startup that you’ve never imagined. But it’s not easy to do it alone, especially if you don’t have the expertise.

Luckily, you can enter a contest that will completely elevate your brand and give you a new verbal and visual identity – Brand Prize. Created by digital branding agency Skyrocket, the annual contest gives startups the help they need to succeed in business.

This year, Skyrocket has teamed up with design and technology school, RED Academy, to create the ultimate Brand Prize. With RED’s involvement, the prize doubles in value, adds a branded website into the mix, and takes the contest to a new level. Yes, seriously.

So, you can win an entire brand system and website just by entering this contest. We’ve compiled a list of everything you need to know if you’d like to compete for the Brand Prize. Applications are being accepted until Friday, July 14.

Who can apply

Any startup in North America can apply to win the Brand Prize. If you meet this criteria, you’re all set to apply:

  • If you have commitment to innovation, expressed through a product or service.
  • If your product has a market fit, seen in the ability to attract the target audience.
  • Bonus points if your startup has the above and a killer social impact component.
