Eighth Annual SikhNet Youth Film Festival
Call for 2013 Sponsors!

Support Our Sikh Youth

SikhNet needs your financial support to help us hold the Eighth Annual SikhNet Youth Film Festival. Sponsorship offers you a unique opportunity to support SikhNet and all of the the Sikh youth who are entering the competition. In addition you or your company will be recognized with gratitude all over the world by tens of thousands of SikhNet visitors.

Even if you cannot become a sponsor, you can also help by referring someone else who might be interested in becoming a sponsor. Here are some other ways that you can support this event.

How your sponsorship helps SikhNet and our Sikh Youth:

    • It helps us to cover the cost of the prizes which will be awarded to the winners of the SikhNet Youth Online Film Festival.
    • It helps us fund the costs of organizing and operating the SikhNet Youth Online Film Festival (Staff time, programming, graphic design, hosting, software, etc)
    • It encourages the youth to be productive and do something creative that will also have a positive impact.
    • It helps us create a growing library of fun Sikh media made by youth for other youth and any one. 
    • Acquiring sponsorships this year secures SikhNet’s ability to do an event next year.  

How your sponsorship helps you:

When you become a Film Festival Sponsor your company or organization will be recognized with your sponsorship banners not only on SikhNet, but on our whole SikhNet family of websites including SikhNet.com, MrSikhnet.com, SikhiWiki.org and SikhMatrimonials.com

By becoming a top level sponsor, you can even have your company or organization’s logo inserted at the beginning of EVERY video shown during this year’s Film Festival. Your sponsorship recognition will remain on the videos through the years as people continue to watch them both online as well as on television in the US, UK and India. Overall the 2009 videos have been watched over 75,000 times and counting. In comparison to a traditional film festival event with 100-200 people in attendance this is a huge event.
