Thanks for your interest in sponsoring the Sandbox Designs Competition. The competition has concluded and we are no longer seeking sponsorships. There’s always the chance of a next time though . . .
In order to supplement the base cash prizes of US$500, third-party sponsorships are being sought for the Sandbox Designs Competition for a total of US$1000 in prizes; however, if sponsorships go beyond us meeting that goal, then all the better for the participants.
Sponsorships are exclusive rights for persons and/or companies to affiliate themselves with the Sandbox Designs Competition. Sponsors and/or their affiliates may have no influence on competition processes or procedures. The competition will be strictly non-commercial in that there will be no “Ad Servers” such as Google Adsense ads or text link ads; however, commercial sponsorships are welcomed in accordance with the sponsorship outlines below.
Sponsorships are sought in order to provide contestants with the best possible prizes, which helps promote the best possible designs, which benefits the WordPress community. If you would wish to sponsor an amount more than US$500, please contact us to discuss any possible arrangements.
