The 2006 Small Biz Games honors outstanding home business and micro small business owners with cash awards, Olympic style medals, and positive public exposure. Jay Conrad Levinson, best selling author of the Guerrilla Marketing series of books is among a panel of small business and home business experts judging this unique competition. Levinson will also act as Master of Ceremonies and Keynote Speaker at the 2006 Small Biz Games Awards Banquet in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 4th, 2006. 

Michael Brooks, co-founder of The Small Biz Games, says, “Existing awards recognition programs, even when they have small business categories, usually give awards to much larger ‘small businesses’ - companies that have 25 or more employees and revenues in the millions of dollars. Brooks adds, “There just aren’t enough opportunities for true small businesses with 4 or fewer employees to receive recognition even though many of these businesses are thriving.” 

Newsweek Magazine reports that by the end of 2005, 50% of the households in the United States will be involved in a home-based business. According to the SBA Office of Advocacy, 90% of all U.S. businesses employ between zero and four workers, making them either home based businesses or micro small businesses. “Of those businesses, only 4% will go on to become the fast-growth companies recognized by existing business awards programs and those you read about in Inc., Forbes, Fortune and other small business publications,” said Brooks. “Thus, The Small Biz Games is filling a void.” 

2006 Small Biz Games Awards include cash prizes of $2000 for first place, $1000 for second place, and $500 for third place in each of eight categories/events. Award winners also receive custom Olympic style medals and positive public exposure on the Small Biz Games website and through the media. In addition, all entrants are given a free one year subscription to The Beyond the Box Club, which includes a unique knowledge bank, tools, and resources to help small business and home business owners become more productive and profitable. 

The Small Biz Games also runs a One Page Business Plan Contest with a $10,000 first place award, a self-published business book and business ebook competitions with over $10,000 in prizes.

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
