$10,000 Grant Award for Businesses; $5,000 in cash for Athens County Residents.

Economic Development Council Looks to Attract More Businesses to Athens County by Telling the Athens Story through the eyes of current and past residents

(April 20, 2012) – Athens County’s Economic Development Council (Athens Business Remixed), and partnering sponsor the Ohio University Innovation Center, are launching a nationwide business grant and story telling contest – Start It Up Athens! The competition will be announced during this weekend’s Startup Weekend at the Innovation Center.

There are two components to the competition, they include:

1. A $10,000 business grant competition – Businesses wanting to grow an existing business in Athens County or start up a new business in Athens County will compete for a $10,000 grant. The only catch? They must grow, expand or start their business in Athens County in 2013.

2. A $5,000 story telling and spirit competition – Past, present, and future Athens area residents and Ohio University students will be challenged to tell the best Athens County story in competition for a $3,000 first place prize a $1250 second place prize and a $750 third palce prize. The stories, told in their own words, with photographs or videos must be published somewhere online and must link back to the Website – http://www.startitupathens.com.

It is the hope of Athens Business Remixed that the competition results in one new business choosing to relocate or expand in Athens County and in the creation of hundreds of new pieces of online content about the true spirit of Athens County.

“The goal is to attract businesses to Athens County and to do so by telling the story of Athens County and who better to tell it than those of us who love it here and live here?” said Todd Shelton, Director of the Athens County Economic Development Council (Athens Business Remixed).

The grant component of the competition aims to bring new business growth to Athens County by awarding $10,000 to the business idea that is most persuasive, most efficacious, and best presented. The selected grant recipient will be required to use the grant dollars in Athens County to launch the award winning business idea in 2013.

The story component of Start It Up Athens will engage current or even former Athens County residents or Ohio University students to capture the spirit of Athens County with a series of, or one piece of online content. YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Facebook campaigns and/or blog posts would all be examples of qualifying entries. Three cash prizes totalling $5,000 will be awarded to the the most compelling entries. First place will be awarded $3,000, second place $1,250, and third place will take home $750.

Winners of both the grant and story telling competition will be judged by a panel of local community and business leaders, as well as other economic development stakeholders to be announced. In addition to creative presentation and the quality of content, judges will also be considering the amount of social shares the online content received. Award announcements will be made on January 9, 2013. Full judging parameters and considerations are available on StartItUpAthens.com.

Local businesses, a thriving arts and music scene, and access to our beautiful natural landscape make Athens County an ideal place to live, work, and play. Both competitions will add to this, with the grant money attracting budding entrepreneurs, existing businesses looking to expand, or even digital companies seeking an Athens presence. The story competition will give each community member a voice and a way to show off his or her Athens County.
