Sponsorship and Program Ad rates

Programs are tabloid newspaper style, mimicking a 1930s newspaper, complete with news stories, fiction, and articles in addition to all program and schedule information. They are distributed to all festival attendees and most of our Kickstarter Backers. Ads should approximate a 1930s look and feel. It is absolutely ok to show modern items (like DVDs and CDs), but the the overall look should be at home in a vintage newspaper.
