I want to tell my story to compete for $10,000 or a trip to Banff.
Film a 1-minute video on your phone. Why you started, what you built, who you serve. Real beats polished. Canada Votes. You could win it all.
I don't want to record a video - just enter me into a draw to win a prize!

The plumber who shows up at midnight when everything goes wrong.
The accountant who keeps a family business alive through tax season.
The marketing agency quietly powering brands you recognize.
The contractor who built your neighbor's dream home.
