Organizing and presenting an annual award ceremony incurs thousands of dollars of expenses in booth dressing, shipping, awards, advertising, and other expenses. Fortunately our sponsors defray much of them. But they can’t cover every penny spent, and those copper pieces really add up, especially when we’re trying to increase the visibility of the Awards at Gen Con Indy, in trade magazines, and with retailers. Our corporate sponsors help a great deal, and to them we owe a great debt of gratitude.
Here are some of the ways the ENNIE Awards is funded
Extra Medals
Additional medals are available for purchase. If you have won an ENNIE and would like an additional Campaign Coin ENNIE WINNER medal, please contact the Director via e-mail at stacy@ennie-awards.com.
Dream Date Auctions
The annual ENNIE RPG Awards are a celebration of excellence in table-top RPGs. So what better way to celebrate than sharing the table at the awards ceremony with your favorite game designers and publishers? All winners of the Dream Date Auctions held via eBay receive reserved seating at tables close to the stage with the publishers that have graciously sponsored a Dream Date table.
Silent Auction
Every year, publishers submit six copies of their finest product to the ENNIES for consideration. But there are only five judges, so you may ask what happens to the extra product? The nominated and winning products are used for display purposes at the booth at Gen Con. Then, they are used to help defray costs of running the ENNIE Awards via the silent auction at Gen Con, or donated to our hard-working volunteers and staffers. If you or your company would like to contribute to next year’s silent auction, please contact the Business Manager at matthew@ennie-awards.com.
Volunteering
The ENNIE Awards are always on the lookout for people to help staff our information booth at Gen Con. If you would like to volunteer your time to the ENNIES, please contact the Director via e-mail at stacy@ennie-awards.com
Sponsorship
The ENNIES offer several tiers of sponsorship. If you would like to sponsor the ENNIE Awards, please contact the Business Manager via e-mail at matthew@ennie-awards.com.
