For one week only, food, beverage and beer entrepreneurs have a chance to be the Wild Card Winner of the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Pitch Room Competition.

In addition to four regional Pitch Room winners from Boston, Chicago, Denver and New York, the national Wild Card Winner will compete for a chance to win a $10,000 grant and a year’s free coaching from Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream to help them grow their food, beverage or beer business. The Wild Card winner can come from anywhere in the country.

Here’s how it works:

* Wild Card hopefuls will prepare a 2-minute video stating why their business should be the national winner. Then they’ll upload their video to Entrepreneur Magazine’s site at http://entm.ag/SamAdamsPitch. Entrepreneur Magazine has partnered withBrewing the American Dreamfor the Wild Card competition and is hosting the virtual component.

* Entrepreneur and Sam Adams will select several finalists, whose videos will be placed on Entrepreneur’s website. Then the public will have a chance to vote. The Wild Card entry with the most votes heads to New York for the Pitch Room National Finals.
