Why we do it                 Entry form

It can happen! Some lucky manufacturers and inventors can hit the bigtime by entering their products in the NMOA Made In America Hot Product Contest, especially if their products happen to be chosen by the NMOA as among the best products in 73 categories. This is the perfect way for American manufacturers to get in front of wholesale buyers from all over the world.

If one or more of these direct marketing companies picks your product to sell, and it turns out to be a hot item, truckloads can be sold in just a short time. Entered products will be exposed to hundreds of marketers from around the world. Contest winners will be exposed to thousands of marketers.

All valid entries will enjoy a free write-up in Mail Order Digest, the association’s international newsletter, and receive certificates (click here for samples) for four more write-ups during 2004. Mail Order Digest goes to mail order companies, catalog companies, infomercial companies, and other direct marketers -- nationally and internationally.

Contest winners receive:

• A frameable certificate in recognition for being a contest winner. All winners.
• Placement of your winning product on the NMOA website for an entire year free ($365+ value). Category winners only.
• Winners publicity kit. This guide shows how you can gain more publicity for your company and product by creating a press release featuring you as a winner of this national contest. Many previous winners have received additional publicity in their local papers and one winner was featured in a book. The dollar value of the free publicity that winners receive is really unlimited since a single order from just one merchandise buyer reading about the product could be worth thousands of dollars in sales. All winners.

Manufacturers of all sizes are invited to participate, including the one-person shop. Products can be of any type and may be directed at the general consumer or at businesses. Firms wishing to enter a product may use the entry form here or may send a SASE to NMOA headquarters. Completed entries must be submitted no later than Dec. 31, 2003. NMOA will notify all winning entrants by mail.

Your product/invention should be properly protected by patent, copyright, or trademark. If you need help with this, contact your local invention association for information and advice.
