Partner with the inaugural year.
Sponsorship funds the room, the trophies, the film crew and the places that let founders attend who otherwise could not. In return you get your name on a programme that will run for years, and the credit for backing it first.

We will say this in the contract, so we will say it here first.
Sponsorship of these awards buys visibility, access and association. It does not buy influence over who wins.
- No sponsor sits on the judging panel for a category it funds.
- No sponsor sees the shortlist before it is public, or the winners before the envelope is opened on stage.
- No sponsor may nominate a business in which it holds a commercial interest into a category it sponsors.
- Any attempt to influence an outcome ends the partnership and the fee is returned.
This is not corporate throat clearing. The entire value of the award to the woman who wins it depends on nobody being able to say it was bought, which means it also protects the value of your association with it.
