Fine print :*A qualified lead is a company doing business, or seeking to grow their business, in the Northern Virginia area and has not been a BW advertiser in the last 24 months. Referral must include contact information for the organization’s decision maker or with a person who vets advertising opportunities for a decision maker. You CAN refer your OWN company if you have not advertised in 24 months, but points will only be awarded if a space reservation form is signed before the end of the contest. To win the grand prize, the top points earner must also have had at least one lead that purchased advertising space with BW.
