This is last-minute, Missouri entrepreneurs, but Governor Jay Nixon needs your help. The deadline to apply for awards at the Governor’s Conference on Economic Development has been pushed back from June 14 to today—so ignore that date on the application. It’s a short, concise form, so finishing in time shouldn’t be a problem. Along with a number of other awards presented September 5-6 in Kansas City, Nixon will hand out the Governor’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Here’s the Missouri Department of Economic Development‘s description of the award:

The Governor’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award will be presented to a principal with an entrepreneurial company who has demonstrated significant leadership in launching a new business, creating private sector employment opportunities through an innovative business concept, or developing a new technology or adopting/applying an innovative manufacturing process. To be considered for the award, the entrepreneur must be affiliated with a company headquartered in Missouri that has been in existence for less than 10 years and has fewer than 100 full-time employees.

Apply for the award through the Department’s online form.
