So, if you have a business – any business: home business, mom-n-pop shop, hair and nail salon, photography studio, Etsy or Artfire shop, daycare, cafe, quilt store etc… – all you have to do is create an ad and upload it to the contest page on Facebook.  The process is SUPER easy – load a picture, add your text with a link to your website, facebook page, twitter, whatever, and save it.  You’re done!  Then you can share your ad on Facebook and twitter and everywhere to help get votes for your entry.  Oh, and your business doesn’t have to be a “registered” business either or one that has been running for years. I know some start-ups who have entered in hopes of getting the $15k to help jump start their business.

If you follow me on twitter or facebook, you’ll also find a link for my entry (for my new business) so you can go vote for me! 🙂  Remember, every vote is an entry for an iPad2!

Go over to the CentrSource Contest Page and enter your business today! The contest ends July 31st, 2011.  This one is for Canada only {excluding Quebec}.
