Get your brand in front of hundreds of established creators and coaches who are done chasing trends and are ready to invest in real collaborations — the people nominating, voting, and sharing this contest with their own audience.
This is the first year of The Collab Awards. We have two simple sponsorship options, and one of them only has three spots. Please reserve your spot before nominations open on October 20, 2026.
The Collab Awards is presented by Roster, a marketplace where creators and coaches find their next bundle, summit, freebie swap, or other collaboration. The people who nominate, vote, and share this contest are exactly the kind of people looking for tools, coaching, and services to help them run their next collaboration.
Here are three plain reasons to consider it.
Everyone who nominates or votes in this contest already cares about collaboration. That means your brand is seen by people who are likely to want what you offer, not a random crowd.
The Collab Awards runs for several weeks, from nominations through voting to the winner announcement. Nominees promote the contest because they want to win, and voters return during Phase 2 to finish their ballot. That means your brand gets seen again and again over that whole stretch, not just for a single day.
You do not need a big team or a complex funnel. You send us a logo, a link, and an item or a gift for our goodie bag, and we take care of the rest.
We kept this simple on purpose. There are three Gold spots, and unlimited Goodie Bag spots.
The goodie bag is a page of free gifts and resources from our sponsors. It lives on its own page, and we link to it in the emails we send to everyone who nominates or votes, both while the contest is running and after it ends. A good item for the goodie bag is something free, such as a template, a guide, a discount code, or a short training, that would genuinely help a creator or a coach. We ask that whatever you contribute is free to claim and relevant to our audience.
Here is what to expect once you reserve your spot.
Please send your logo, a link to your site, and your goodie bag item or gift by this date.
Your logo and your goodie bag item go live when nominations open, and they stay up for the rest of the contest.
Sponsors are mentioned in the email we send when we announce the winners of The Collab Awards.
Here is an honest look at who this sponsorship works well for.
Why should I sponsor The Collab Awards?+
People who are nominated will tell others about the contest because they want to win, and people who vote tend to come back more than once during Phase 2. This means your brand gets seen again and again by a group of creators and coaches who are already paying attention, not just a single ad that people scroll past.How do I sign up for a sponsorship?+
Please send an email to sponsors@letstryroster.com and tell us whether you want a Gold spot or a Goodie Bag spot. There are only three Gold spots, so we give them to whoever asks first. If you would rather split the Gold payment into two payments of $500, just let us know in your email.What do you need from me as a sponsor?+
We need your logo as a PNG or SVG file, a link to your website, and the item or gift you want to include in the goodie bag. If you sponsor at the Gold tier, we will also ask you for a short interview or a quote for your feature article on our blog.When will my logo and item appear on the site?+
Your logo and your goodie bag item will appear as soon as we confirm your spot and receive your details. The earlier you reserve your spot, the longer everything will be shown before nominations open on October 20.Can I sponsor next year's Collab Awards instead of this one?+
Yes, you can. Please mention that in your email to us, and we will hold your spot for next year. If you sponsor at the Gold tier this year, you will automatically get the first option to renew for next year.Please send us a short email and tell us whether you want the Gold spot or a Goodie Bag spot. We read every email ourselves and we will get back to you quickly.
