Hi Sylvain,

I would focus on getting sponsors for prizes. Including them on your website etcetera is common, including them in Wikipedia is something you don't want to do. Asking sponsors for something you can give away usually works better than asking them for money. Having a lot of small sponsors will enable you to have a lot of small prizes. Another way of getting sponsorships is having an organization provide a location (for free) to do the award ceremony.

In WLM Panama we are offering the sponsors almost the same as Portugal: their logo on the local website, on the official poster, on facebook and mentions on twitter. In addition, we are planning two events (press conference and award ceremony) and we are offering the sponsors to have their banners on these events and some might have a booth to exhibit their products.

We prepared a sponsor kit (in spanish) that we could share if a page is set up as Lodewijk suggested.

Regards

Monica

    Hi,

    In WLM Portugal we had sponsors for prizes, and we had the
    sonspors logos on all our communication (website, poster,
    facebook). They were also mentioned in the press-release. But, of
    course, no Wikipedia articles about them :)

        In NL the commercial sponsors we mainly had where sponsoring
        prices. What
        we offered them was a logo placed on the website, and the name
        mentioned
        on the price page, and for the big prices, to be mentioned in
        the press
        releases and if wanted to hand out the price themself on the
        reward
        ceremony. That is about how far we went.

        But I think it is honest to give sponsors some of the
        opportunity for
        publicity via the communication about the event.

        Regards,

        Andre
