Hi Charles,
I thought about that too, and concluded that this would probably differ too much from country to country. Remember the purpose of this list - just making a nice wall with all that support Wiki Loves Monuments :) For that, the exact title they get in your contest, doesn't matter. If it is very important to you, you can always add a field though.

May we make a difference between “partners” and “sponsors”, it is quite different, also in term of communication for the companies we are citing.*

I think you are creepy and doing a course mindreading! Maarten and I have been brainstorming last weekend, and we actually came up with a similar thought - making a nice wallpaper-ish page on the wikilovesmonuments.eupage with all partner logos on it, a bit similar to the backgrounds you see in football interviews after a match. We would need to set up a nice page on Commons asking for the logo (external link is OK), the name of the sponsor, their website and the country they are sponsoring. To keep things simple I suggest to throw all levels for that together and not diversify. ****
So... sounds great :) I'll put a collection page up on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/sponsors (if someone can properly link it etc that would be great - and feel free to work on the layout) and ask everybody now to put their sponsors on it with the asked information. Be generous with putting up sponsors/partners! I'll put up one for NL as example and will leave the others for a bit later (it is late now :P )****

Hey all,
I wonder what everybody think about listing each country' partners in the European "partner" section?
Special care should be taken to highlight European-level partners, of course, but that could give more visibility to each local partner and, consequently, motivate them to partner with us.
What do you think?

Yes, and I thought about it as well, and agree with Charles.
And especially now, that Maarten has approached the list in a "database point of view" - I urge you to please differentiate them on the list. Even if we don't do a visual distinction, at least we enriched the list with an important attribute of the "sponsor" - I do consider it important.
So, I'd suggest we use "sponsor" to partners that contribute financially (with money, prizes, etc) and "partner" to all the others.
I've expanded the list as a demonstration:
