Sponsor Information

Partner with Overload 2026!

As a non-profit, volunteer-run event, Overload thrives on partnerships with organisations and individuals who share our commitment to creativity, community, and independent artists. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sponsorship; instead, we welcome open conversations to shape support in a way that truly aligns with our shared goals and values.

WAYS TO SUPPORT OVERLOAD

The options here outline common ways partners contribute to the event.

Competitions & Activities

Partners have the opportunity to directly engage our creative community by providing prizes and support for our signature event competitions. This includes the Overload Art Competition, Overload Cosplay Competitions, as well as various other community-led activities throughout the weekend. By contributing to these programs, sponsors help us celebrate and reward the incredible talent of our attendees.

Event Services & Production

We welcome partners who can provide the services required to make Overload a high-quality and memorable event for all attendees. These contributions include essential production support, such as professional printing, photography, and specialized technical or AV assistance.

Event & Community Support

Sponsorship can also take the form of supporting the essential elements that make Overload possible. This involves contributing to critical areas such as international guest hosting, staging logistics, and providing vital resources for our dedicated volunteer team.
All partnerships are developed collaboratively to ensure it complements the event’s unique atmosphere while respecting our community-focused environment.
