Warning: Only Honest Sponsors Wanted A few years ago, the outsourcing company GetFriday was my top sponsor. Once the contest had ended and a recipient was chosen, they suddenly stopped replying to my emails or returning my telephone calls, and never awarded the top prize of the contest that year. As a result, I'm more careful about who I accept as sponsors. How to sponsor: Easy Use our Contact Form. Choose the subject ‘I have a suggestion', mention that you'd like to be a sponsor and I'll get back to you asap.
