The 2009 ESA European Sponsorship Awards are the only pan-European sponsorship awards celebrating excellence across all sectors - sport, culture, entertainment, media and corporate social responsibility.
The shortlist for the 2009 ESA European Sponsorship Awards has been released, featuring a host of global brands with campaigns ranging from education projects, to venue sponsorship, football, Formula 1, and international sailing campaigns.
Entries were received from ten European countries and have all been judged by a panel of independent expert judges from across the continent. The judges have commented that the standard of entries has been very high, making the contest especially hard-fought.
The second round of judging is underway and winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on 25th November, at London’s Café de Paris, as part of the two-day European conference, Future Sponsorship. ESA is delighted that the ceremony will be hosted by distinguished broadcaster, Rob Bonnett of the BBC’s commentary team, ensuring that the event will be one not to be missed
