Tampa Bay, FL — Today, 3rd Party Media Corp. announced the national call for entries for “FeverPitch,” a small business pitch competition that will be hosted on its business networking platform, BlackConnect.com.

Co-sponsored by Legacy Social Media Management, “FeverPitch” is a small business competition for entrepreneurs seeking to take their business to the next level or aspiring entrepreneurs who are ready to turn their idea into a business. This round of competition is open to millennials ages 18 to 38. To participate in “FeverPitch,” interested individuals must complete an entry form and provide a 60 second video pitch.
“FeverPitch captures the heart and soul of Black Connect,” said Ivan Conard, a graduate of Morehouse College and the Director of Sales and Operations for BlackConnect.com. “BlackConnect.com is a privately owned, comprehensive social media platform that provides holistic tools to meet the needs of businesses, professionals, and consumers. Because it’s privately owned, we are able to tailor the platform to meet our objectives, and also meet the needs of our members, partners, and sponsors. This allows us to host the entire competition online and open the competition to individuals all across the United States,” said Conard.
“As a millennial and the winner of two small business pitch competitions, I am looking forward to helping creative and innovative entrepreneurs, who are willing to invest in themselves, jump start their ideas,” said Keyaries Davis, owner of Legacy Social Media Management. “FeverPitch showcases the new generation of entrepreneurs, provides them with feedback on their ideas, and exposes them to resources to take their businesses to the next level,” said Davis.
Ten semi-finalists will be identified to move forward in the competition for a chance to win $1,500 to help fund their business expansion or start-up. A prize will also be given to the entrepreneur with the most engaging pitch video. Black Connect members will have a voice in choosing the winners of FeverPitch.
