The Constellation Awards - Sponsorship & Promotional Partnership Information

Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the Constellation Awards! Here is some info on how your group or organization can help support our awards by becoming a Sponsor or a Promotional Partner.


[General Sponsorship Info] [Sponsor Us Today!] [Promotional Partnership Info]
[Our Online Sponsorship / Promotional Partnership Kit] [This Year's Sponsors] [Past Sponsors]

Why do the awards need sponsorship?

There are several costs associated with running the awards, including promotions, hosting the ceremonies, paying our MCs, and of course the award trophies themselves. The TCON Promotional Society is a not-for-profit group, and therefore we depend on sponsorships to help pay these costs.

Does that mean you are only interested in money?

No! If your organization can offer a product or service that would help us cut our costs, we would certainly be interested in discussing this as an alternate form of sponsorship.

What does a sponsor get out of it?

Promotion, promotion, promotion! The awards website and publications will be seen by hundreds of Canadian fans of science fiction film and television. By sponsoring our event, your name/logo/advertisement will be seen by all those fans!

Currently, we are offering the following sponsorship levels and benefits. Note that levels and benefits are subject to change.

Promotional Partnerships

If you or your organization does not have a budget to sponsor our event but would still like to support us, we now offer an alternative: Promotional Partnerships. If you can help spread the word about our awards via advertisements, logo placements, distribution of our nomination and voting ballots, or any other means, we will promote you or your organization in return!

Promotional Partnerships are available at various levels, similar to sponsorships. For example, if you provide us with free promotion of $1,000 value or greater, you will be referred to as being a “Platinum Promotional Partner” and will receive all the promotional benefits of a Platinum Level Sponsor. We are extremely flexible as to what promotion we can offer, and are willing to tailor your benefits to fit the level of promotion that you can offer us.

To sign up to be a Promotional Partner, just contact us at constellations@tcon.ca.
