All videos will be posted to Eidi Properties' Facebook page, and will undergo three rounds of elimination. Judging in each round will be based on a mix of "Likes", comments, and evaluation by a jury comprised of Eidi Properties executives.
The winner will be announced in May, and will receive*:
- Infrastructure and funding valued at up to $100,000
- Assistance from Eidi Properties in locating space within one of their 28 shopping centers
- Personal mentoring from Eidi Properties' chief executive, Ramy Eidi
"One of the fundamental values of our company has always to invest in people, because it is not buildings and properties that drive economic growth, create quality jobs and strengthen communities -- it is ideas, talent, passion and leadership," commented Ramy Eidi, whose company is one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate companies throughout Northwest Ohio, Southwest Ohio, and Southeast Michigan. "And now we are taking this commitment in a new direction with our $100,000 Small Business Challenge.
