I need at least one sponsor for next months Octoberfest. Likely going to have a few of the usual things like an Award Goal to earn a Pumpkin Award with posts. I hope to add a couple more fun things to do as well.
Now would be a good time to provide ideas. Give me a few weeks to decide and prep.
What if we all have a pint drinking competition?
I fear to say the Americans will probably rank close to last - too many whiteclaws
Octoberfest on Hack Forums sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, excited to see what happens.
well this is going to be interesting !
thanks Omniscient!

What is the responsibility of a sponsor for an event on HF?

Haha, exactly! I’m also more into malts and blended malts myself. Even something like JD/coke is pretty damn good, nothing wrong with a good whiskey on the rocks or with some water.

Financing and any promotions they might want to add. Example is Virtualine.net donated $1000 and also some great coupons for their service. And Bandors (CanYouHack.me) also donated towards the money which was used to advertise the event on X for a month ($25 per day).
In exchange Sponsors get promoted, linked, and mentioned in the email blast (30-70k emails are sent).

Aw yeah this is a no-brainer for anyone able to financially afford it. Thats a win win for everyone involved, I sure wish I could! Looking forward to it.
Would you accept a sponsorship from another forum community that might be considered a "competitor", as we cover gaming, cheats, games console & PC modding, etc & is there a minimum value requirement?

I do craft beer, I'll have to take some snaps of my book of labels if we do a drink thing.
Maybe some anti opsec and photos of various drinks we're having through the month? Would it encourage drinking too much to say 15 unique alcoholic beer photos on a lounge sticky through the month to get bytes/award?

Hey now, I don't drink often, but when I do it's gotta have some fruit.
