Third Party Sponsorship Guidelines

A Vivid Light Contributor is an organisation or entity that provides assistance (cash and/or value-in-kind) to the applicant in support of their Expression of Interest and realisation of their event (if successful).

The applicant is responsible for engaging and managing contributors directly to support their application/activation. Applicants must provide details of potential contributors for review and approval by Destination NSW prior to entering into a formal agreement with the contributor. Destination NSW will request the relevant information required to facilitate this approvals process on or before Friday 24 January 2020.

Destination NSW has provided guidelines on the Contributor Restrictions (outlined below) and these must be taken into consideration before submitting your Expression of Interest or seeking support from potential Light Contributors.

Vivid Sydney reserves the right to review all proposed Vivid Light Contributors and approve them, or otherwise at its sole discretion.
