I loved seeing that there was a place for screenwriters in both the Ivy and Austin Film Festivals. I also thought it was interesting to not that undergrad festivals and smaller budget festivals held there on against the festivals that had sponsors in the 10s of thousands of dollars. They may not looks a sleek when you visit the website but there is a cinephilia there that transcends budget restraints with each festival. I also liked the southern aspect of Indie Grits - and the catchy title.
From my research and others, I have learned that perks for the sponsors are key. I think that we should maybe give out coupons for sponsors, assuming they allow it, or somehow let them peddle their products. That would give our festival a professional look - look these people think we are important enough (which we totally are) to believe we would create a significant enough demand for them to tap into our market. It would also spark interest in sponsors, who like all businesses are opportunists.
