Virginia Beach Competitive Arts Festival2027
Prepared for Sayona Mullens — NAE Credit Union
NAE Credit Union normally takes a tent at the events it sponsors. Our recommendation is that you do something considerably larger here.
VB-CAF 2027 is the inaugural championship of the Competitive Arts Entertainment industry — a full day of collegiate and high-school ensembles competing under a broadcast-grade production, built in coordination with the City of Virginia Beach and regional institutional partners. There is exactly one title position. This proposal is our case for NAE Credit Union holding it.
Why NAE Credit Union belongs on the Main Stage
Member-owned mission, made visible
A credit union exists to return value to its members and its community. Title sponsorship of a regional youth arts championship is that mission expressed in public, at scale, in front of the exact families you serve.
Financial literacy activation
The Main Stage footprint includes room for a financial literacy activation aimed at performers, their parents, and directors — first accounts, college savings, and scholarship guidance delivered where the trust already is.
Direct household reach
Competitive arts families travel together and spend the entire day on site. Every performer arrives with parents, grandparents, and siblings — a captive, high-trust, multi-generational audience in the 757.
Civic standing alongside the City
VB-CAF 2027 is being built in coordination with the City of Virginia Beach and regional institutional partners. The title partner shares that stage — and that credibility — in every announcement.

Vendor / Tent Presence
$2,500The standard tent-and-table footprint most sponsors settle for. Visibility for one day, to whoever walks by.

Our honest assessment: NAE Credit Union is worth considerably more than a tent. A tent is seen by the people who happen to walk past it. The Main Stage carries your name through every performance, every broadcast segment, every photo, and every mention of this festival — before, during, and long after March 27.
