Jointly run competitions
We may run competitions jointly with an appropriate organisation such as an academic or artistic institution. But we must pay a substantial part of the costs and no money from the outside organisation should flow into any programme budget.
We should not normally run competitions with a commercial organisation. However, it may be possible:
- to join with a publication or other media organisation to run a competition for a co-sponsored award or an award for skills associated with broadcasting such as journalism, music or drama or other BBC initiatives.
- for local radio stations to join a regional publication to present a local award.
Any proposal to jointly run a competition or award should be referred to Editorial Policy.
