Every year, generous sponsors allow us to create the special MosquitoCon awards. Want to help and sponsor a trophy package? They’re only $35 per category, and you can Contact Us for more information on how to participate. **Please Note**: our category numbers changed in 2023, so please verify the name and number of the category you would like to sponsor.
