Sponsorship Opportunities

Join us this year for a unifying shared experience that strengthens our community and brings the community together for the largest most diverse arts event in Annapolis. Promote your brand or company to thousands of festival attendees. Talk to us about ideas for marketing activations, and opportunities for brand exposure. This year, we are working with one of the most prominent national PR companies in the entertainment arena and we have expanded our marketing campaign.

Each sponsorship offers visible branding opportunities and activations while providing Gold All-Access Passes that will allow you or your guests to be on the inside at parties, and industry events, and will provide both priority line and seating options, as well as an opportunity to meet filmmakers and connect with area business leaders. Ticket packages also available to specific programs; opening night tickets negotiable. Custom sponsorships are available at certain levels of exclusivity to meet the specific needs of our partners.
