Corporate sponsors award 2005
Corporate sponsors have been invited to enter the 2005 Business Day/BASA Awards for innovative and effective sponsorship of the arts. These annual awards, sponsored for the second year by Anglo American, recognise creative business thinking and identify partnerships that go beyond simple chequebook sponsorship and make a difference to both sponsor and recipient.
All businesses operating within South Africa, large or small, who have supported the arts in any genre, whether in cash or in kind during the period 1 January to 31 December 2005 may enter; alternatively, the recipient arts organisation may nominate its sponsor for an award.
There are 12 award categories, including the Chairman's Award for sustained excellence made at the discretion of BASA's Chairman. Judges, drawn from business, marketing and the arts, will evaluate the success of each sponsorship programme in achieving the objectives of the sponsoring company and in bringing genuine benefits to the arts organisation and the broader community.
Contact Business & Arts South Africa for more information and for the nomination/entry forms, on +27-11-832-3000, email , or visit www.basa.co.za.
The closing date for entries is 28 February 2006.
