Join Us in the Dash!
Sledgehammer is currently seeking Portland-based companies to donate to the prize package for these talented—and brave!—writers.
Possible donations:
• Gift certificates for items from Northwest creatives—jewelry, art, books, or anything else you create!
• Gift certificates to local restaurants
• Gift certificates for services such as massages, Web design, graphic design, etc.
• Memberships to local writing and other creative organizations
• Entrance to local creative events
• Money (Cash is always a welcome prize!)
• Your location as a writing prompt stop
• Any other products, services, or perks that fit your company’s style
You’ll notice we prefer gift certificates over actual prize items. This allows prize winners to select items that suit them best. You may, however, stipulate on the gift certificate which items winners can choose from. We have a template gift certificate you may use if your company doesn’t already have one. All we need is your logo, a description of the prize, and redemption instructions.
Sponsor Tiers:
20-Pounder: Total donation worth $500 or more
12-Pounder: Total donation worth $250-$499
8-Pounder: Total donation worth up to $249
As a Sledgehammer sponsor, you get:
• Inclusion in our all-Portland-media publicity campaign targeting TV, radio, and print media.*
• Acknowledgment in all Sledgehammer publications.
• Acknowledgment and a link on our Web site and other social networks.
• 20-Pounders’ logos will be displayed on our Web site.
• 20-Pounders’ logos will be displayed at all Sledgehammer and Indigo events, including the readings in Portland and Seattle, Wordstock Festival of the Book as well as further readings and events TBA. All other sponsors will be listed on this display.
*Sponsors must register before August 13, 2010, to be included in the media campaign.
