sponsorship opportunities 2023
ArkanSTOL’s Ozark Backwoods Challenge is a unique event which offers the opportunity to showcase your product or service to your customers in its intended environment.
Instead of standing in a booth describing performance or usefulness, your customers will be able to see your product truly in action.
Great additional value from ArkanSTOL comes with the media exposure that you will receive leading up to and following the event, keeping the excitement about your products rolling all year!
Highlights
The customer can be taken from your vendor booth to the cockpit in minutes.
The value of the equipment being flown to or competing at ArkanSTOL ranges from $30,000 to over $400,000—in many cases attendees own other aircraft up to the business jet category.
Media Exposure: We offer additional value with year-round media exposure, social media content and presence at other aviation events.
Location: The ArkanSTOL Ozarks Backwoods Challenge offers a unique major STOL event located near the geographical center of the USA.
We focus on a high quality event promoting increased pilot skills, sharing experiences and enjoying the backwoods lifestyle.
