It's Now Up to the Business Community to Vote
IRVINE, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire/ --Today, Entrepreneur magazine announced the five finalists for each of the three categories in the now third-annual Entrepreneur of 2010 contest presented by The UPS Store ®, the most prestigious award bestowed upon entrepreneurs today. Now through September 10, the business community is encouraged to vote online for their favorite finalist in each category.
The finalists receiving the most online votes will be awarded a 25-point preference by a panel of judges, who will determine the final winners based on contest criteria.
