Sponsorship Levels
Sponsorships may be in the form of monetary donations and/or approved services or goods (such as contest prizes). Event Underwriter requires a $1500 Cash sponsorship. For other sponsorship levels, In-kind donations will be counted as 50% of a Cash level sponsorship (e.g. $750 In-kind = $375 Cash/Bronze, $500 In-kind = $250 Cash/Bronze, $250 In-kind = $125 Cash/Recognition @ event). Combinations of Cash and In-kind will impact your level of sponsorship. Note that “media partners” are exempt from the In-kind requirements listed above.
