You need to find companies who will benefit from sponsoring you. Try
your local computer stores. You could always try the publicity
department of large computer manufactures and game companies too but I
wouldn't count on them unless you can guarantee a lot of exposure for
them. Also look for local authorities who offer activities for younger
people (My town council in the UK give money to a local LAN centre
because it keeps kids off the streets)
