The ESA European Sponsorship Awards are the only pan-European sponsorship awards celebrating excellence across all sectors - sport, culture, entertainment, media and corporate social responsibility.

Entries for the 2008 Awards are now open and ESA is seeking entries across five different categories.

Applicants should select the most appropriate category for their entry based upon the objectives and target audience of the particular sponsorship project. A single project can be entered into any one category plus the International category, if applicable.

The ESA Awards will be judged by an independent panel of industry experts from across Europe.
