Business Baby Shower Contest

Celebrating entrepreneurial moms and all they do to birth and grow a business

Barrington, NH – The Business Baby Shower, a new contest celebrating entrepreneurial moms and all they do to birth and grow a successful company while balancing family life, was recently launched as a partnership between The Mom Entrepreneur and Corporate Mom DropOuts.

The Contest, which runs from January 1 – April 30, 2010, will create awareness of mom entrepreneur companies and their products and services. Participants will complete an application process as well as submit a two minute video of their business for consideration by a panel of judges.

“As a mom entrepreneur myself, I’ve found that starting and growing my own business was very similar to the process of birthing and raising my children. There’s a lot of love, dedication, commitment, hard work – and occasional frustrations – that go into both,” said Lucinda Cross, of Corporate Mom DropOuts, co-founder of the Contest. “We’ve created a forum that recognizes and honors the unique challenges that go into simultaneously raising children and ‘birthing’ a business.”

The Business Baby Shower Contest is open to mom entrepreneurs, in any industry, who are looking to start or grow a business. To be eligible, mom-owned companies must be located in the United States or Canada with the exception of the Province of Quebec and where prohibited by law. All entries will be judged on a variety of factors, including (i) degree of business solution; (ii) creativity of solution; and (iii) practicality/broad applicability of solution.

“We work extensively with mom entrepreneurs and are continually inspired by their creativity, innovative ideas, tenacity, exceptional multi-tasking and ability to balance their careers and families,” said Traci Bisson of The Mom Entrepreneur, co-founder of the Contest. “The Business Baby Shower celebrates all of these wonderful attributes and allows us to highlight and honor some really amazing women.”

First, second and third place winners will be chosen in May, and will be “showered” with thousands of dollars worth of media exposure for their business from Media Sponsors as well as prizes, services and bonuses from Contest Sponsors.

“Mom entrepreneurs are a rapidly growing demographic and we believe in supporting, recognizing and celebrating the great work that these busy, smart, creative and courageous women are doing,” Cross continued. “We’re excited to see the nominations and learn more about their stories.”
