NAMHSA - Class Sponsorship at NAN!

NAN 2010

Sponsorship Opportunities at NAN!

Thank you for your support of NAN 2010! Your sponsorship helps improve and support our hobby's biggest show, North American Nationals, for which we are very grateful. This year, we have many different levels tailored to fit any budget!

We will also be doing something special with the NAN Show Program book, which will feature:

Sponsorship Ads
The NAN Class List
Great Moments In Nan History
And More!

No more tossing away those old NAN programs...This will be a gem people will want to keep for posterity and makes those ads an even better investment since people will go back to them time and time again. The official NAN Show Program will be available for free to all NAN participants, as well as available for purchase for $3 for non-participants.

What Sponsors Get in Return for Sponsorship

In addition to the satisfaction of giving back to the model horse hobby by supporting NAN, our sponsors are entitled to advertising in the official NAN Show Program. The program will be formatted as an 8.5" x 11" booklet and will also be available for free to all NAN participants.

Sponsorship Submission guidelines

ALL sponsorships and payment MUST be received by June 15, 2010, with NO exceptions. In order to ensure your ad space in the show program, we adhere to strict deadlines. Any imagery submitted must be the correct size and digital format according to specifications. Due to the volume of imagery and text to be coordinated, we will not have time to scan in or fix your ads for you. Your ad will appear as sent so make sure it's the way you wish to have it when submitting it! If you do not have an ad, we can create one for you for an additional $35, any size. Please e-mail Teresa Buzzell at flicksmom@gmail.com to arrange all design services.

It's best to avoid having photos of horses, tack or props that are or might be showing at NAN in 2010. Photos of people, items for sale (but not showing at NAN), etc are perfectly acceptable.

All digital files should be e-mailed to: NANSponsorships@gmail.com.

Checks should be made out to NAMHSA. Please put "NAN 2010 Sponsorship" on the reference ("for") line and mail to:

PayPal payments are also accepted. Please send them to treasurer@namhsa.org.
