SPONSORSHIP

ANU Sport encourages Clubs to acquire sponsorships to help lower their operational costs. Allowing clubs to further the interests of sport, physical recreation and wellbeing among Students, other Members and the wider community.

Please note that:

  • Clubs cannot have sponsorship or endorsement from competitors of ANU Sport.

  • Where a sponsorship agreement requires advertising at any of the ANU sports facilities, ANU Sport may allow it provided that the advertising is not permanently fixed. Any such advertisement shall be on demountable signs and hoardings which may be set up and removed as necessary. Any exception to this requires the prior written approval of ANU Sport. 
  • Where a sponsorship agreement requires advertising on behalf of the sponsor on uniforms and other Club apparel, ANU Sport may allow it provided that it complies with the branding and identity requirements of this Affiliation Agreement and receives prior written approval of ANU Sport.
