The Sponsorship Opportunity
“We’re looking for a title sponsor who we can build the Prize for Fiction with, in partnership. We’re not interested in someone who simply wants to badge what we do. The scope is there to extend into so many new areas and we’re genuinely excited about the possibilities that a new sponsor can bring and the ways that they can help us deliver against our core objectives”
Kate Mosse, Co-Founder
The Prize for Fiction is seeking a new headline sponsor who is prepared to commit to a minimum three year contract from June 2012
The main ethos of the Prize is unalterable and protected by the trust that puts up the Prize money. However, any additional promotional or educational initiatives are at the sponsor’s discretion and would be delivered hand-in-hand with the Prize for Fiction.
Investment
£1.5m investment across 3 years
This represents a minimum financial commitment to cover administration of the Prize, POS materials, and award ceremony costs.
Any additional investment is at the sponsor’s discretion.
