Hi Sylvain,
this is indeed something that is being discussed at various places. The
short answer is that it is primarily a local matter. Kul is looking into
the opportunities for worldwide local sponsorships, but he indicated there
is little chance this is going to be possible.
So yeah, definitely try to find local sponsors. Probably we should set up a
place where we can share experiences (good sponsor kits, talking points)
and discuss strategies. Lets at least agree not to worry too much about
having the same brands in sponsorships - and that whatever we do - no
sponsors mentioned on the Wikimedia projects themselves (stating the
obvious). As a contest we already have enough momentum to be interesting -
last September our contest websites combined received about 7 million hits
if I recall correctly (to be confirmed).
Sylvain, if you have any proposal to share, or material (also if it is in
French) please do!

Hello,
We at Wikimedia France had some discussions about what we want to ask
potential (commercial) sponsors to fund, and what conditions we can accept
from them.
I know some discussion about this occured during the last Chapters Meeting
in Berlin, but I don't know what was concluded.
As we have to decide soon to have time to send requests to potential
sponsors, we would like to have some more advice... What do you think about
commercial sponsorship ?
Best regards,
Sylvain.
