SPONSORSHIPS


November 1-4, 2001 AD

They provide funding and/or in kind service for:

• The funding to provide for the prize package for the Masters
• The  funding for the incentives package for the Masters (appearance money)
• The funding for the ancillary expenses of materials, rental vans, awards, printing & distribution, advertising  and other event related needs.

If one sponsor is willing to be THE sole event sponsor, they will get all the benefit of exposure as THE event Sponsor.
The more sponsors, the more of a split in cost to the sponsors, but also diluted exposure.

What a Sponsor can expect:

• Your logo carved in sand on site at the event. ($3,500.00 minimum donation required for this aspect)
• Exposure of brand name, and involvement in this well established (15th annual) event in all media coverage.
• Name branding on all printed materials such as posters and brochures.
• Name branding on any promotional items that may be generated by the event, except the event Tee Shirt. The event tee shirt is being reserved for the current year event logo design alone, unless a sponsor were to commit enough funds to cover the entire financial needs of the event ($10,500.00 minimum donation)
• The event enjoys widespread coverage in the media and in print. Over 30,000 people visit the event. The internet coverage is substantial, and a sponsor can expect a full page dedicated to them on this event web site
• Sponsors may erect a booth or tent on site to pass out info or promotional items of their choosing (pending approval).
• Sponsors may hang banners and signs that are pre approved.
• The sponsor Logo created in sand on site will remain on display as long as the sculptures themselves, which is usually up to a number of weeks after the event.

  Some sales are permitted on site. Due to the restrictions in permitting for the City, County and Department of Natural Resources, we  (the event itself) will not be selling food or beverages. The Host Hotels will have their usual F&B sales going on as part of their regular daily business, but that is the extent of expected  F&B sales. No sales can be made of items that are already normally offered for sale by the Host Hotels.
We will sell  the event tee shirt and possibly any other event related merchandise such as souvenirs. This is a family oriented event, and though the demographics are broad, we want to impart a familial feel to the show.
 If you would like to discuss being involved in this event or in the manufacture or sales of event- related merchandising, contact us as soon as possible via the contact means listed on this page.

 In addition to Event Sponsors, other sponsorship options may be available, such as individual sponsorships of the individual Masters competing. If this is done, it must go through the producers first, as space and other perks are limited.

 We are open to discussing ANY ideas you may have. Please feel free to contact the producer:
