Maybe try emailing small shops or companies in the area. Small busniess' love any advertising they can get and sponsor ship of events can be a great way of doing that.

What comp is it?

Try emailing Bartlett or Freeze, I'm sure they'd be willing to put up swag, especially since they're trying to get rid of this season's stuff to make room for the new season.

Otherwise, maybe get onto Solly/ Line UK?

What sort of comp? Sounds good

Try www.amc-development.co.uk They did some movie premiers last year (selfless publication I know) or like the other guy said Salomon and the grom camps and Line UK.

When and where will it be?
And how can you enter or is it invite only?
Ring around some of the outlet places, they might put up cash or gear for the advertising.

judging by how much work you are putting into getting sponsors, i think this may be the greatest comp ever held... ever.

(sarcasm is in there. try to find it)

well i'm helping my friend out who is organising it and she has asked pretty much all the shops in the complex and has also emailed a few companies who have yet to reply, i have used the list from the sticker cult to find contact info emails for a lot of people

just asking for any recommendations or interest from companies on NS for who is likely to sponsor an event aimed to encourage unsponsored riders to come ride a park for a day

there is quite a lot of effort going in to be fair

You have to understand that the core of UK freeskiing is so concentrated, that not much more work is needed. There's 2 or 3 proshops, and a few brands with UK teams, most of which will be on here. And most of the people with access to them/ who know the owners managers will also be on NS.

Is there a Snow and Rock or Ellis Brigham at Cas? They're usually game for stuff like this, since freeskiing is one of the increasingly lucrative markets.

Or Storm Skis? For a brand that builds its skis here, they get very little publicity.

spoke to brigham and awaiting a reply, a guy put us in contact with 4frnt so see how that turns out

we are kinda hoping an american company may want to get involved that doesn't have a big market over here like Saga or Moment for example
