Caricature Badges

ICANNWiki has become known for the caricatures it creates for ICANN conference attendees and their online profiles. This is not the work of any type of automated software, but instead that of various dedicated artists from around the country. It is our way of saying thank-you for opting into the ICANNWiki system, as inclusion on our site is largely community driven. We print all caricatures at each ICANN conference and distribute them at our booth and they are designed to fit perfectly inside the name badge given at each ICANN conference. All caricatures are printed with our Caricature Sponsor's logo and a QR code that leads to the person's IcannWiki page. By the end of the week you'll see a large number of ICANN community members showing off the caricatures in their badges. Many ICANN community members love their caricatures, so much so that it's not uncommon for them to use their caricatures as avatars on social media platforms!

        

Caricatures Sponsor

Being the Caricature Sponsor is one of three special sponsorship opportunities that we currently offer. These are only available to Partners, who enjoy the highest offerings our sponsorship program provides. Becoming a Partner supports our continued, enthusiastic participation at all three annual ICANN conferences. At these events we have an official booth space that is used to educate newcomers about our site, update the articles of established ICANN attendees, and hand out our popular give-aways.

Being a Partner includes the exclusive placement of your logo on one of these desirable gifts. The Caricature Sponsor has their logo prominently displayed on the front of each caricature printed out at our booth. A visit to our site or the booth automatically familiarizes anyone with our unique "brand," that is, our caricatures. Each conference we contract with a talented artist to provide caricatures for new attendees, which fit perfectly into the name badges that are worn by all ICANN attendees. We also print off caricatures for those individuals who had them made at previous conferences, always with the Caricature Sponsor's logo.

The large number of caricatures bobbing on the lanyards around people's necks are often a great source of fun and a hot topic for hallway conversation. Being the Caricature Sponsor is a truly rewarding opportunity to show your support of an important, grassroots, community driven project and also see your brand very well represented at the most important fora on Internet policy development.

Note: Participation as Caricature Sponsor is on a first-come, first-served basis. The current Caricature Sponsor is Applicant Auction. Other high-level sponsorship opportunities include prominent placement on our City Guide, and placement on individual, high-trafficked pages on the ICANNWiki site. We would be excited to develop new giveaways in partnership with an interested sponsor.
