To protect sponsor visibility and maintain a premium reader experience, Penobscot Valley Voice intentionally limits sponsorship availability within each business category.
Once a category has been filled, additional businesses within that category may be placed on a future waiting list.
Businesses joining during the Founding Sponsor phase will retain introductory pricing for as long as their sponsorship remains active.
