Not a very common subject.....
How about simply writing them and ask what it takes? ;)

You would have to get noticed by them, not asking what it takes to get a sponsorship from them. With all of the very capable shooters out there, your work would have to stand out amongst the crowd. Best of luck !!!

Plus, sponsorships are becoming rare. Easier to do what Canon did at the Olympics, and be done with it....

I'm more familiar with sports, and sponsorships are a major source of revenue for teams.

It doesn't seem likely a company would sponsor an individual photographer. In sports I think photographers working for top media outlets and publications at one time may have been sponsored by a company but I don't know if that happens anymore.

At major sporting events a company may set up equipment and services for credentialed working photographers covering the event for major media outlets.

You would need to have some star power behind you.  They would want to know that you influence others, that a legit number of people who follow you, would buy Canon gear because you are using it.

You talking about getting high end CPS and priviledges through reuters, or being a Master of Light?
