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.
