Help Signing Time win Inspiring Small Business Award

Has Signing Time helped YOU?
Now YOU can help us…
Wow! Two Little Hands Productions (that’s us – the creators of Signing Time!) has been nominated as an inspiring small business in the Shine a Light campaign for an opportunity to receive a $50,000 grant and $50,000 worth of marketing support from American Express. (Believe it or not, we really ARE a small business!)

This is an amazing opportunity to fuel our efforts to put Signing Time in every home and develop more of the products you love. Help us continue to make a real difference for families and children around the world.

All we need  is 50 endorsements from our fans on the contest website by September 13, 2009 to qualify as one of 150 finalists. That is so do-able! As a finalist, we’ll get the chance to be evaluated by three independent judges: Diane Von Furstenberg, JJ Ramberg, and Ellen Degeneres. The Judges will select the three finalists and award a $10,000 grant. That’s the first step.

Once we make it that far, we need you to cast your vote again between 9/24/09 and 10/16/09 to select a winner, so stay tuned.

So…if Signing Time has touched your life, lend your support by registering and submitting an endorsement. Then spread the word and encourage others to do the same. We can do this!

Thanks for your support!
