Adding Your Business as an Unofficial Nearby Thing to Do or Place to Stay:

Notice: Undefined index: MAILING_ADRESS in /home/vacatiq0/public_html/beta/sponsorship-awards.php on line 102
.
There is no cost to submit your business or to be accepted and listed as an unofficial nearby thing to do or place to stay, however there is also no guarantee of inclusion of businesses that are not sponsoring the trail and that are not Heritage Quilt Square hosts. Priority is given to official sponsors and Official AQT Trail Stop and Waypoint Heritage Quilt Square locations and the areas where communities have put up Heritage Quilt Squares.
Additional Opportunities to be Visibly Recognized for your Sponsorship Contribution:
Print Media: In areas where the AQT has become entrenched, various levels of sponsorship by members of the business community may be recognized by inclusion in our print media for your area such as AQT tear-off maps distributed at visitor centers, brochures, or vacation planning guides.
Website Imagery: Tell the world you support the trail with a 160x600 or 300x300 or 468x60 pixel image posted on the website.
