125 MAGAZINE
125 magazine is an independently published 300 page bi-annual photography publication which acts as a showcase for new work and ideas from a cross section of emerging and established artists that it is not possible to produce in more conventional publications. Since its creation in 2003, the magazine has published photography and illustration by over two hundred contributors - and staged exhibitions in London, New York and Tokyo, with other European cities upcoming. The magazine's staff work tirelessly to maintain the publication's long-established ethos of ideas, individuality and independence in a market which is increasingly generic and they are looking for like-minded businesses interested in an association with 125 as a sponsor and partner in the many events, books and other projects which they are constantly working on.

AUTOGRAPH ABP
The charity: founded in 1988, Autograph ABP is a charity that works to educate the public in photography, with an emphasis on cultural identity and human rights, through exhibitions, publishing, education and the creation of a public archive of culturally diverse photography. It is based at Rivington Place, London, the home of culturally diverse contemporary art and photography in the UK, which opened in 2007. Designed by David Adjaye OBE, this prestigious award-winning building is the first new-build public gallery in London since 1968. Autograph is constantly expanding, and has recently worked on projects with The Hayward Gallery, The South Africa National Gallery, The Barbican, Harvard University and Syracuse University (both USA), DRIK (Bangladesh), Manchester Museum and Art Gallery, Amnesty International, MTV Europe Foundation and Magnum Photos, in partnership to reach yet larger audiences. The offer: Autograph's concerns give it a special place at the centre of the British art scene - the envy of the world - with its sophisticated, urbane and educated audience. Sponsorship would provide the sponsor with access to this demographic segment, and associate them with an arts organisation that is socially aware and has a proven track record. Autograph ABP's audience figures for the year April 2008 - March 2009 were well over 500,000. The results of a 2009 spot-questionnaire for an Autograph exhibition at Rivington Place showed 68% of the audience were in work and 27% were students. 100% of those questioned rated their experience of the exhibition as either Good or Excellent. Recent press coverage included a four-page feature in the Guardian, a preview on Radio 3 Night Waves, three pages in The Independent, a full page in both Metro and The Times, a double page spread in New Humanist and numerous features and reviews in the general and art press. "Your mandate and programming is highly impressive ... the breadth of the photos both aesthetically and from the point of view of content, the associated contexts of the work, and the way the show was mounted. Wonderful, memorable, subtle, and in many ways revolutionary! Congratulations!" - Doina Popescu, Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre, Toronto, 2009; "You guys rock! The best exhibitions in the country. Cutting edge and accessible. Keep doing what you are doing and more" - Kevin McCullough, Christian Aid, 2009. Contact: Indra Khanna, Curator.

GAY PHOTOGRAPHERS NETWORK
Gay Photographers Network is holding its third West End annual exhibition in June 2012, once again as official participants in the London Pride Festival but also in conjunction with World Pride 2012. "We are seeking sponsorship of just £5,000 in total to support the staging and promotion of this exciting addition to next summer's events calendar. With our sponsors' branding on all materials and events, last year's sponsors gained extensive exposure to the marketplace, including to over 180,000 readers of the print edition of the Independent newspaper and a further 58,000 Time Out readers with added visibility on their respective websites. We were also heavily supported by the gay press, including high profile titles such as QX and Bent. We estimate at least a quarter of a million potential customers were exposed to our sponsors' brands for the equivalent of just a few pence per head. In 2012 that exposure will be even greater with a million visitors expected in London next summer". Contact: John Drennan, Chairman. Tel.: 07887 997760. E-mail: info@gayphotographersnetwork.co.uk.

TOM STODDART'S PERSPECTIVES EXHIBITION 2012
Perspectives is an exhibition featuring the work of award-winning photographer Tom Stoddart. For £75,000.00 it will put its sponsor's identity at the heart of London for the seven-week duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, at a prime site, adjacent to a designated broadcast media platform. The exhibition's 100 signature black and white images will form a major retrospective of his finest work during a career spanning forty years. Perspectives chronicles Tom's hardhitting coverage of international news, conflicts and humanitarian crises, as well as subjects closer to home such as politics, people and the rich social diversity of British life. One of the world's most respected photojournalists, Tom continues to produce campaigning photographic projects on serious world issues. In July 1991 he travelled to Sarajevo to document the civil war that was engulfing Yugoslavia. This work was published worldwide. Returning a year later for The Sunday Times Magazine, Tom was seriously injured in heavy fighting around the Bosnian parliament buildings. After recovering, he produced a powerful feature on the aftermath of the Mississippi floods, followed by an award-wining photo-essay on the harsh regime for the training of Chinese Olympic Child Gymnasts. In 1993 he returned to Sarajevo to report on the hardship of life in the city during a freezing winter under siege. In 1997 Tony Blair gave Tom exclusive access for three months to document his election campaign. He was subsequently given exclusive access to Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Tom's acclaimed in-depth coverage of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa continues to be widely published and referenced in the international media. Now established as one of the world's most respected photojournalists, Tom continues to produce campaigning photographic projects on serious world issues. More recently he has been travelling around his own country, capturing intimate moments and portraits that illustrate the diversity and character of Britain and its people. Perspectives will be staged alongside City Hall - framed by the iconic Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast and 'Gherkin' building. The area will be the London hub of 2012 activity outside the Olympic Park. Energy is gathering there already among those aware of what is planned. Tom's last event there - iWitness, opened by Joanna Lumley for the DEC - attracted more than 300,000 visitors. This will be far exceeded during the Games. £75,000.00 will secure exclusive sponsorship of a high quality photographic exhibition supported by video; creative design and project management; expertise of a top design, manufacture and installation team; and staff on site daily to greet and inform visitors and security. Partial sponsorship/partnership is an option.
The presence of large screens 200 metres from Perspectives, transmitting live coverage of the sports events, will also attract huge crowds. One of the thirty-five key Ambassador Pods will also be located on the site and adjacent to City Hall and will be used for entertaining VIP/celebrity guests. "We would like the exhibition to be a collaborative project with an imaginative partner who shares our vision, although part/shared funding is a possibility. PR opportunities have been scoped". Contact: Ms Glyn Strong, Project Director. Address: 137 Thomas More Street, Hermitage Waterside, London E1W 1YD. Tel.: 0044 (0) 7806 920087. E-mail: glyn@glynstrong.co.uk.
