Third Party Sponsorship Guidelines

A Vivid Music 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/event as required. However, the applicant must provide details of potential contributors as part of this Expression of Interest for review and approval by Destination NSW prior to entering into a formal agreement.

Destination NSW has provided guidelines on the Contributor Restrictions (outlined below) and these must be taken into consideration before submitting your Expression of Interest.

Potential Vivid Music Contributors can also be submitted for review and approval by Destination NSW after the approval of the submission.

Destination NSW reserves the right to review all proposed Vivid Music Contributors and approve them or otherwise at its sole discretion.
