The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation contest for a chance to win a free Big Omaha 2012 ticket ends at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday. To enter, tell us why you want to attend Big Omaha and what it means to participate in an entrepreneurial community. We're collecting entries using the video Q&A site VYou, or if you're camera shy, you're now in luck. We're opening up a written response to the question. Either way you choose to enter, it's up to you to make your answer stand out.

The winner will be notified Wednesday, May 2 through their VYou account or email. (The fine print: The winning entrant will be responsible for all travel expenses. If you've already purchased your Big Omaha ticket, you are still welcome to enter the competition, if you win, you'll be reimbursed the cost of your ticket.)

The Kauffman Foundation, our premier sponsor of Big Omaha 2012, is a global leader in the research and development of entrepreneurial economies. Through their role with Big Omaha, Kauffman helps challenge the community to think about what they're passionate about and how they can change the world and impact others.
