Hi Kevin, a great initiative. I am an entrepreneur from India, running the portal www.Halla.in. The idea is to create a platform for individuals to express their talent and emotions. We run photo contests on general themes like rains, city street, back to school etc. and let users post their entries to get voted as the best. Over the past 12 months, we have run over 100+ contests with an average of 70+ entries per contest and have over 7000 registered users. Being bootstrapped startup, the value of prizes are limited. Customers adore our concept by giving good reviews and feedback.

Question:

We are trying to scale to next level, however we face challenges in getting companies to sponsor these contests. How can we scale?
