One of the biggest worldbuilding challenges of the year is just around the corner—and you can help make it even more awesome! Want to sponsor a prompt or the community raffle for Summer Camp 2025 and see your name in lights? If you sponsor a prompt, you’ll get a crack at being a worldbuilding judge, all while giving back to the amazing World Anvil community. If you’re interested in becoming one of the Summer Camp community sponsors, read on!

WHAT’S A SUMMER CAMP SPONSOR?

Summer Camp community sponsors are the amazing generous beans that make Summer Camp even more amazing! There are two types of sponsor:

  • Prompt sponsors get a prompt and have to choose one winner among all submissions in that prompt—the winner gets the prize offered by the sponsor. As a prompt sponsor, you’re free to judge based on your own criteria!
  • Raffle sponsors offer one or more prizes that will be given to randomly selected Anvilites who complete at least 8 prompts.

You can be both a prompt and a raffle sponsor, or you can choose just one option. Either way, while we’ll help you reach out to your winners and manage the raffle prize draw, you will be in charge of delivering the actual prize to your winners!

HOW CAN I BECOME A SUMMER CAMP SPONSOR?

Becoming a community sponsor is really easy—just follow these simple steps:

  1. Check your World Anvil notifications for a link to the form.
  2. Read carefully the information at the top of the form.
  3. Fill in the form—reach each question carefully!
  4. Submit the form. We’ll confirm your sponsorship by the end of June.

Note that being a community sponsor doesn’t exclude you from any other prizes! You can’t be the winner of your own prompt, but you can still win in any other prompt or in the community raffle.

If you choose to sponsor a prompt, we’ll email you before July to let you know which template and prompt wave you’ve been allotted. And then it’s time to get reading! Additionally, judges will be able to sort by competitor status—this means you will only have to judge those who have opted in rather than everyone.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to email us at contact@worldanvil.com.

WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME A SPONSOR?

As a prompt sponsor, you’re allowed to judge entries however you want. You could read them all or filter by certain parameters, and you can decide what’s most important to you. We love all of our community sponsors, so you can expect shout-outs left and right. Your World Anvil name will appear on the Summer Camp challenge page, next to the prompt or raffle prize you’re sponsoring. And we’ll make sure to shout you out during the opening or closing streams, as well as in the big Awards Ceremony! But most importantly, with your judging, you’re giving back to our amazing and supportive community, one of the nicest places on the internet!
