Adding Award Sponsors

Sponsors may or may not be involved in an award and may or may not sponsor a prize. The Sponsors page provides organizations with a free-form way to describe what the sponsor is providing. For example, for the Best Speaker award, Toastmasters International might sponsor free membership for a year for the award winner.

This tab is only displayed if the Sponsored Award toggle is set to YES on the Award Summary. For more information, please see Creating an Award.
