In addition to the five category awards, an overall winner will also be announced for the 2007 ESA European Sponsorship Award.

Categories:
ESA Business to Business – for sponsorship projects directed at a sponsor’s business partners, clients and distributors

ESA Business to Consumer – for sponsorship projects intended to reach existing and potential consumers

ESA Business to Community – for sponsorship projects focused on corporate social responsibility, educational or environmental objectives

ESA International Sponsorship – for sponsorship projects which reach a minimum of three different countries, and which reflect activity based within at least one European market

A category should be selected according to the objectives and target audience of a particular sponsorship project.
