Sponsor the awards

Be the name on the award
every contractor in your state wants.

Top of the Trades is the only homeowner-voted, trade-by-trade award that runs in every state. Sponsors are the suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, insurers and software companies that already serve the trades. You reach the licensed businesses that buy from you, at the one moment a year they are paying attention: when they are on the ballot.

What you get

Two ways to sponsor

Title sponsor

$10,000 to $25,000 per state edition

One per state per year. "The 2027 Florida Top of the Trades awards, presented by you."

  • ✓Your name on every ballot, result page and winner badge page in the state
  • ✓Your logo on the winner kits, plaques and press releases
  • ✓A message to every verified business in the state at ballot time (May 1) and announcement time (Nov 1)
  • ✓Audience numbers: nominees, voters and page views, reported after the edition

Trade sponsor

$2,500 to $5,000 per trade per state

Own one trade in one state. "Best Plumber in Tennessee, sponsored by you."

  • ✓Your name on that trade's ballots and result pages across the state
  • ✓Your logo on that trade's winner kits
  • ✓A message to every verified business in that trade and state at ballot time
  • ✓Audience numbers for the trade after the edition
Pricing is a range on purpose. Nothing is quoted until the first edition has audience numbers to show you. The 2027 Florida edition is the first; its numbers will be published on this page in November 2027.
The rules sponsors agree to

What a sponsor can never buy

Always true

  • ✓Sponsorship is labeled "Sponsored" wherever it appears
  • ✓A sponsor cannot win any category in the edition it sponsors
  • ✓Sponsors never see voter lists or individual votes
  • ✓The outside auditor reviews the count; sponsors have no part in it

Never for sale

  • ✕A place on a ballot, a vote or a result
  • ✕The Checked badge for anyone
  • ✕A category created or named for a sponsor
  • ✕Access to voters' contact details

If a sponsorship would ever change a result, the award is worth nothing to your customers and nothing to you. That is why these rules are not negotiable.
