Be useful
to creators.

The strongest partnership removes a creator constraint, creates a meaningful achievement, or helps excellent work find its audience.

One property. Clear roles.

HOST & OWNERAION3 Technologies

CO-ORGANIZED BYDTC Group

ECOSYSTEM SUPPORTConnecting The Dots

AION3 remains the most prominent institutional brand. Partners, judges, media, communities, and universities contribute around the property without owning its creative identity or influencing the core jury outcome.

Partnership architecture

Presenting Partner

The single largest sponsor position after AION3, with lead billing, the largest partner logo, an agreed category lane, and launch-to-awards integration.

Major Partners

A limited second tier for award, technology, production, or media partners delivering a substantial creator benefit or campaign activation.

Supporting Partners

The broadest tier and main logo field for tools, education, community, media, credits, access, hardware, services, and distribution support.

Activation menu

Named creator award or approved special award
Creator credits, access, compute, software, or hardware
Campus workshop, tool masterclass, or expert session
Workflow feature, creator diary, or finalist story
Premiere or optional Demo Day moment if separately funded
Media editorial, community distribution, or education activation

Core jury awards never require sponsor tool use. Any tool-specific challenge or award is clearly separated and uses its own criteria.

Confirmed community & education partners

NIDA

Community and education support for creator access.

Sripatum University

Education and student creator outreach.

TUBC

Community distribution and creator participation.

Creator trust

Creators retain ownership of their work. Commercial use requires a separate agreement. Sponsors cannot influence the Grand Prize or core jury awards. Public partner recognition is tied to an agreed contribution or activation—not merely permission to display a logo.
