In-Kind Sponsor Contest

In-Kind Sponsor Contest

Showcase the value of partnerships that helped your Fair thrive—without a dollar exchanged!

This contest celebrates the vital role of in-kind partnerships—those generous contributions of goods or services that helped your Fair succeed without money changing hands. From lodging and landscaping to equipment, signage, or staffing support, in-kind sponsors provide the behind-the-scenes help that keeps our fairs running strong.

To enter, simply share a photo (up to two) showing the impact of the sponsorship and tell us about the sponsor’s contribution: what was provided, how it supported your event, and why it mattered.

Judging Criteria:

  • Impact on the Fair- 30 points
  • Clarity and Quality of Description- 20 points

  • Visual Representation- 15 points
  • Recognition of Sponsor- 15 points
