Will your idea operate within Hastings city limits?

We ask this because some of the prize money is tied to the City of Hastings and therefore, the business must operate within city limits to be eligible to receive these funds. Although businesses outside of city limits are able to participate, they just wouldn't be eligible to receive all of the grand prize money if the idea was to win.
