Small businesses will now have the opportunity to compete for a prize and the title of America's Favorite Small Business. Dell, MasterCard and Microsoft have teamed up to create a 13-week contest that invites small businesses to submit a short video explaining why they should be AFSB and claim the $75,000 prize package.

The winning small business will receive $25,000 in Dell solutions and Microsoft software tailored to their needs and a $50,000 MasterCard prepaid card to finance business expenses and supplies. Dell will also allow the winner to promote its business on its YouTube channel by creating a web reality show.

"By delivering products and solutions specifically designed for small businesses, Dell helps entrepreneurs do and achieve more with technology," said Mel Parker, vice president and general manager of Dell Consumer and Small Office.

Another contest small business owners can participate in is American Airlines' "Flights. Camera. Action." American Airlines is asking small businesses to submit a video about how flying helps their small business grow, according to ReelSEO.

The grand prize winner of the contest will receive a total of 90,000 Business ExtrAA points from American American, which can be redeemed for plane tickets.
