Starfight 25 Sponsorship Opportunities

The Opportunity

Our esports event is more than a competition—it's a catalyst for growth, connection, and regional identity. By spotlighting young talent and creating a professional, high-energy gaming experience, we offer players, creators, and digital entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their skills and connect with opportunity.


This event positions Northwest Ohio as a rising hub for esports—one that recognizes the creative and economic potential of the gaming industry. From streaming and media production to event management and digital marketing, esports opens doors to high-impact careers that resonate with the next generation.


By investing in esports now, we plant the seeds for a thriving local economy built on innovation, youth engagement, and a forward-thinking tech culture. Together, we can define Northwest Ohio not just as a player in the game—but as a destination for the future of competitive entertainment.

Testimonial

“With events like Glass Garden and Game Con taking off in the manner they did, Toledo is progressively becoming a hot spot for events not only in Ohio, but across the Midwest, and your team has surpassed event quality that majors could dream of reaching.”


“Now that Starfight 2025 is on the horizon, I am confident you can double the numbers Glass Garden had and become a well established tournament series!”


~ Cole’s Corner [Head Organizer in Northeast Ohio]
