Much like Mr. Jack Daniel himself, you’ve mastered your craft. And your dream is to expand your passion project or maybe even make a living by making the things you love. The right way, the best way you can. Well, Jack Daniel’s would like to help.

Submit a video no longer than 60 seconds, describing your business or project plan, and you could win $25,000 to put towards it. Be sure to include your date of birth in the Instructable's text.

This could be the start of something big.
