Small businesses just got one big opportunity – Intuit Inc.’s Small Business Big Game program is giving one small business the opportunity of a lifetime with an expenses-paid, 30-second TV commercial to air during Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium.

Entrants must visit QuickBook‘s Small Business Big Game website, where they will then join Own It: A Small Business Network and create a profile sharing the details of their business, according to a press release. Entries run through early August.

Applications are judged by a panel of judges at Intuit, who will evaluate entries based on passion, authenticity, public representation and other factors that meet Intuit’s commitment to small business success.

Ten finalists will be announced Sept. 2, who will then travel to Intuit’s annual QuickBooks Connect conference in San Jose, California, in November, an expenses-paid trip that allows businesses owners to spotlight their brand and business to thousands. 

The top three finalists will be selected live at the conference, followed by an open public vote that will decide the program’s winner.

The toymaker GoldieBlox, the 2013 winner of Small Business Big Game, attracted more than 100 million viewers during its 30-second Super Bowl broadcast.

Small business may register at SmallBusinessBigGame.com, where applicants can submit up to five content entries that best represent their business.
