Twenty-five categories. Eight gone, seventeen available. Every approach logged so nobody calls the same company twice.
| Partner | Value | What they have | Status |

Apple Music have bought a table at €15,000 and are partnering with Pioneer on Emerging Artist. That is table income, not sponsorship, and it sits on the Finances page.
| Partner | Category | What they supply |
|---|---|---|
| Naked Diablo | Ibiza Party of the Summer | Tequila and vodka — 53 bottles of each, one per table |
| Champagne company | Executive of the Year | 384 bottles. The reception carries their name — "Champagne by [BRAND]" on the invitation |
| Wine company | To confirm | 380 bottles across four courses for 530 covers |
| Production company | Global Festival Award | Full film production and the edit — broadcast feed, after-movie, winner reels, sponsor assets |

| Wingstop | Afro | Category sponsorship |
The wine company still needs a category. Best remaining fits are Ibiza Track of the Summer or Balearic — wine belongs with dinner, the Terrace and the island. Andrew to confirm.

Eye On stays — it is the category we use to open strategic conversations, because the winner of a territory award is often next year's partner.
Own the category. Dedicated announcement pre-awards and a full week of brand spotlight afterwards. Present on stage, live on the broadcast. Four seats at your category's table. Two nights at the host hotel. Private transfers. The full content library. First refusal for 2027.
Everything above except attendance.
Start at £15,000, never £10,000. The £5,000 step is the whole pitch — it is the difference between a logo and a night in Ibiza with your category announced from the stage.
Twenty-five years, four hundred awards, no pay to play. Fifty jury members. A meritocracy, not a marketing contest.
Pick the category for audience fit, never product adjacency. A drinks brand does not have to buy a party category.
530 at dinner, up to 4,000 at the after-party, live to ninety countries. The reach is the proof; the room is the reason.
Sell 2027 in the same conversation. First refusal on the category next year is free to give and it doubles the value of every yes.
Nothing about a nomination, a nominee or a result is ever discussed with a sponsor. Not a hint, not a steer, at any price, in any conversation.
The award that cannot be bought is the entire product. The moment a sponsor believes it can be influenced, there is nothing left to sell.
