Sponsors For 2009 Plutus 2.0 Awards
The Plutus Awards come in two flavors: The Plutus Awards and The Plutus 2.0 Awards. The second set of the awards is focused on bloggers and social media, and for these awards, we are seeking sponsors to help fill out the “prize bags” we would like to hand each winner.
Any award could have more than one sponsor, so feel free to sign up for whatever you feel is the best match. Higher-value prizes will be listed first.
Other than the prize provided to the winner, sponsorship is free.
