maybe u can try approach NYAA or GAHA? Think they have something similar in the pipeline. They might be able to help secure sponsors and other assistance...

i'm sure it will be much easier to find sponsors if u work with NYAA/GAHA as their network is much bigger and very established. with their support u can get more people to join and more media coverage as well. do consider. if u need to talk to someone i can help u link up as I'm in GAHA.
