How to Help
Organizing and presenting an annual award ceremony incurs thousands of dollars of expenses in booth dressing, shipping, awards, advertising and other expenses. Fortunately our sponsors, EN World and Gen Con LLC, defray much of them. But they can't cover every penny spent, and those copper pieces really add up, especially when we're trying to increase the visibility of the Awards at Gen Con Indy, in trade magazines, and with retailers. Our corporate sponsors help a great deal, and to them we owe a great debt of gratitude.

Spread the Word!
Print this flyer (letter or legal size) and bring it to your Friendly Local Gaming Store and ask the good folks there to put a copy up on the community board and/or by the cash. Let us know the name of the store(s) along with a web page address and/or storefront address, and not only will we put up a link to the store, we'll enter your name for a prize!
Sponsorship
For the 2008 Awards, the ENnies are pleased to be sponsored by AvatarArt. Not only are they committing hard cash to ensure the continued viability of the Awards, they're donating prizes for the Silent Auction and some nominees. If you would like to sponsor the ENnies, please contact Denise here (denise@ENnieawards.com, or 613-678-3880 Tuesdays, evenings (EST) and weekends).
Dream Date Auctions
The annual GenCon EN World RPG Awards are a celebration of excellence in table-top RPGs. So what better way to celebrate than sharing the table at the awards ceremony with your favourite game designers and publishers? Or if a designer can't make it that night, how about representing them at the ceremony? All winners of the Dream Date Auctions enjoy reserved seating at the tables close to the stage with the publishers.
Sixth Pile Auctions
Every year, publishers submit six copies of their finest product
to the ENnies for consideration. But there are only five judges, so
you may ask what happens to the extra product? Nominated and winning
products are used for display purposes at the booth at Gen Con Indy,
and then are used to help defray costs of running the ENnie Awards:
auctioned off on ebay, or donated to our hard-working volunteers and
staffers.
Silent Auction
Thanks to the support of many publishers and individuals, the 2007 ENnies were able to raise over one thousand dollars through our first silent auction. If you or your company would like to contribute to the 2008 silent auction, please contact Kennon Bauman here.
Volunteering
The ENnie Awards are always on the lookout for people to help staff our information booth at GenCon. There are are also dedicated volunteer opportunities throughout the year, such as the Ceremony Coordinator.
Interested persons should contact the Business Manager.
