Tell it the way you'd tell a friend

- What does your business do, and who are your customers?
- What does a normal busy day look like?
- Where do things get lost: bookings, cash, stock, staff or customers?
- What have you tried so far, and what went wrong?
- If a system could sort out one thing first, what would it be?

Questions about Start Your Story
Do I need to be an AussyPrompt customer?
No. Anyone 18 or older who lives in South Africa can enter, with or without an account. There's no purchase and no entry fee.
My business is still an idea. Can I enter?
Yes. Tell us the business you want to start and what you'd want a system to do from day one.
Can I write in my own language?
Yes. Write in any of South Africa's official languages, or mix them the way you really talk. Every story is judged the same way, whatever language it's in.
Will you publish my story?
Only if it's shortlisted, featured or wins, and only the way you choose on the form: your full name and business, or your first name and town. We contact you before anything is posted.
