Is your company on a mission?

Quartz gets small business. Independently owned and clocking in at just about 100 employees, we understand the unique opportunity of creating big change through the combined force of a passionate team and a clear mission — make business better™.

That’s why we, along with our partner T-Mobile for Business, want to support the purpose-driven professionals who rely on Quartz to stay on top of trends impacting their industries and workforces and to advocate for the company leaders who are curious about new ways of doing business that are more sustainable, innovative, and inclusive.

Starting on September 13, 2021—the first day of National Small Business Week—submissions for this first-ever Quartz competition are open. Once the entry window ends on October 15, 2021, we’ll then select one small business based on the responses to the online questionnaire below and allow them to broadcast their mission through free ad space across our platform as well as a cash award.

The prize package includes:

• $10,000 from Quartz to put towards your company’s growth

• Access to Quartz’s 4.4M US readers through a digital distribution suite, including

  • 1 co-branded display ad package that will run across on qz.com
  • 1 co-branded placement in each of our 5 popular newsletters
  • Design, copywriting, and engineering resources for your display and email promotions from Quartz’s award-winning in-house studio Quartz Creative
