All companies that apply for the contest will be ranked according to percentage of revenue growth, and the 50 fastest-growing will be deemed The Flyover 50. To apply, companies must have brought in revenue of greater than $1 million in 2011. All figures submitted in Flyover 50 applications will remain confidential.

The Flyover 50 is open to companies from all industries. Companies can submit themselves for consideration by visiting the contest’s application page, and nominations of other companies are also allowed.
