A Thompson man was awarded with a prize recently after winning the Entrepreneurship Manitoba Start-up category in the "Just Watch Me" video contest.

Donald Glenn's business success story video, highlighting Shorty's Upcycling Studio, features how he repurposes materials in to one-of-a-kind household objects, such as mirrors, coffee tables and beverage dispensers.

Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle, as well as city councilor Penny Byer, were on hand for the event to present awards from the provincial and municipal governments.

The "Just Watch Me" video contest celebrates the success of entrepreneurs with disabilities or health concerns.

The category Glenn won in is sponsored by Entrepreneurship Manitoba and is for a Manitoba business that started less than a year ago.
