UK SPONSORSHIP AWARDS

THE UK Sponsorship Awards have been a highlight in the sponsorship calendar for the last 24 years – each year the number of entries gets bigger, the scope of project gets larger and the task of the judges gets tougher. A couple of things do stay the same though – the pride with which a winner or shortlisted entrant displays and promotes its success – and the rigour with which the entries are judged.

No other Awards reward effectiveness and excellence across all sectors of the sponsorship industry and across all budget bands – campaigns are held under the spotlight, objectives are examined and tested, creativity and innovation both within ideas and execution are judged and results are scrutinised. And all by experts in their specialist fields.
