The company’s “Digital Growth Contest” will award the lucky lady a year of fiber-based data and voice services from Cox Business (valued at up to $12,000), and a 30-second TV commercial to air on top cable channels like CNN and CNBC for 6 weeks (valued at $9,100).

The contest is co-sponsored by Ladies Who Launch and organized by the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing.
