[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

well,
as sponsorship I was wondering for example if it is okay to name a 
sponsor on our website and in S&S.

I was thinking sponsors like Humanware, Freedom Scientific, nfb's 
independence mart, etc.

I do like the idea of  other divisions being approached for 
sponsorship consideration.
I think that potentially sponsorship can work the other way too.  if 
for example Guide Dogs for the Blind were a sponsor, they might also 
include our division's info and the contest details in some of their 
publications, too.

just brainstorming.
