One lucky small town will receive a $500,000 transformation in 2016 - and it could be yours, with a simple nomination.

Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec is helping Deluxe Corp. give the $500,000 revitalization to one small town's Main Street business district, and the transformation will be captured and shown in a video series this fall. The two-week nomination window is now open.<http://smallbusinessrevolution.org/main-street-revolution/>

The project is called the Small Business Revolution, and select small businesses in the winning town will receive one-on-one guidance from Herjavec and marketing/business services from Deluxe, a leading provider of small-business marketing and financial services. Deluxe will also invest in upgrades to the winning town's public spaces, and the transformation will be captured and showcased in a new show debuting on SmallBusinessRevolution.org<http://smallbusinessrevolution.org/> this fall.

Nominations are open from Jan. 11 - 28. Finalists will be announced during National Small Business Week, May 1-7, and then the public will vote for their favorite town to determine the final winner of the $500,000 transformation.
