United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS) is looking for some good innovative small businesses. And if they are really good, the company is willing to cough up $25,000. That's right, $25k.
In honor of the company's Centennial celebration, UPS has kicked off its third annual UPS Best "Out-of-the-Box" Small Business Contest, and this time it's going global.
UPS said the international contest will honor "the most innovative small businesses," and specifically designed the contest for companies with 2006 revenues of at least $250,000 but not more than $10 million. To enter, owners or employees must fill out an entry form here and submit a 500-word essay explaining why their company is original and how their business has been successful.
