Could you guys give examples of how to use the word collaboration in a sentence?

What is more correct to gain collaboration from the audience or to achieve collaboration? What better word could be used instead of gain or achieve? I want to say that this man gained the support of fellow voters, but i dont want to say support. Can i say that he gained the collaboration of the audience by . . .? CAN U GUYS ANSWER MY QUESTION ABOUT THE AUDIENCE AND NOT ADD ANY MORE EXAMPLES> I KNOW WAT COLLABORATE MEANS I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT IN THIS SPECIFIC SENTENENCE!!!!!!!!! WOULD IT BE BETTER IF I SAID TO ATTAIN COLLABORATION WITH THE AUDIENCE???

1. Not gain or achieve, just plain collaborate. Collaborate WITH the audience (in order to achieve....) The editor and author worked in collaboration on the lengthy manuscript. I prefer: The editor and author collaborated on the lengthy manuscript. I think it depends on whether you are trying to say: a) you are trying to collaborate- then SEEK as suggested by William. b) you are collaborating to try to do something else...
2. Seek
3. TLC= The Learning Collaboration. Its a real program
4. Here's a good example of the use of "collaboration". The two universities were able to curtail the problem on student deliquency because of a very good research collaboration. Between you and an audience: It would be better to use interaction rather than collaboration. You can use the word "gain" if you are trying to get the attention and participation of an audience.
5. What you mean to ask here is that "By using the collective collaborative experience of Yahoo!Answers, will you be able to achieve the optimal solution for the attainment of your grammatical goals!?" I'd believe so. Simple use of "power" or "action" words and some reasonably accurate use of the term in question , coupled with the ironic use of one of the most collaborative forms of modern communication, the blog!
6. The detective interviewed 2 suspects, Bob said he saw Larry at the park at 2:00 pm and Larry says he was at the park at 2:00 pm; their alibis collaborated.
