Black Valley Sponsorship Tiers
We wish to make sure sponsorships are treated fairly among sponsors, with a clear understanding of what exactly to expect. This document serves as a policy for how we handle sponsorships for Black Valley, and what tiers exist.
Principles
All sponsorship funds will be put directly towards organizing Black Valley. The main goal of sponsorships is to reduce the ticket-price of the event, in order to make sure it’s reasonably low, so as many people as possible can afford attending. Any leftover funds will be directed to the organization’s general funds, and used to cover general expenses as well as financing future events.
The Black Valley organizers are free to sort sponsor-placements within each tier any way they prefer, for instance for estethical reasons.
Tiers
Common perks for all sponsors:
- A logo on our website.
- Acknowledgement and expression of gratitude during the opening and closing ceremony of the event.
- A logo on our big-screen banner-rotation between performances and competitions.
Platinum
Platinum sponsors are meant to be the “headline” sponsor of the entire event. There will be a maximum of one platinum sponsor each year.
This tier requires a sponsored amount of 25 000 NOK.
Extra perks:
- The platinum sponsor gets mentioned before all other sponsors.
- The logo will be given a dedicated row on the website, be larger, and listed before all other sponsors of the event.
- The logo will be more prominently listed in our banner-rotation on the big-screen.
- Free entrance for any number of representatives.
Gold
The gold sponsor tier is meant for the primary sponsors of the event, and is expected to be shared among multiple sponsors.
This tier requires a sponsored amount of 15 000 NOK.
Extra perks:
- Listed before silver and bronze sponsors.
- Free entrance for up to three representatives.
Silver
This tier requires a sponsored amount of 7 500 NOK.
Extra perks:
- Listed before bronze sponsors.
- Free entrance for one representative.
Bronze
There’s no defined minimum sponsored amount for this tier, but we suggest at least 5 000 NOK.
We also sometimes get equipment-only sponsorships, or discounts on equipment rental. These generally count as bronze-tier, because it’s difficult to quantify these fairly compared to other sponsorships.
Cancellation
In the unlikely case that the event gets cancelled, all sponsorships will be reimbursed, or alternatively can be credited towards a future sponsorship, on the discretion of the sponsor.
