The Victorian Bands' League greatfully acknowledges support from the following organizations:-
The Arthur W. Thomas Memorial Trust for philanthropic funding which assists with the running of the Championships.
Billy Hyde Music Blackburn for supply of percussion equipment for use by bands and percusson soloists, music stands used throughout the Competition.
Yamaha Music Australia Pty Ltd for supply of pianos for use in the Solo Competition.
In order to make the 2007 Championships the best competition possible for players and visitors, we need the support of sponsors. The organisers are looking for sponsorship in the form of financial assistance or provision of services to aid in the running of the event.
Financial sponsorship can range from sponsoring a section of the competition, for which credit will be given in the programme, to being the event's major sponsor for which naming rights of the contest and other services may be negotiated. The Victorian Bands' League is on the Register of Cultural Organizations, which allows the issue of receipts for donations over $2 to allow the donation to be tax deductible for the donor.

Sponsoring sections of competition at the Nationals is an affordable way of honouring or commemorating individuals or advertising an organisation. Sponsoring a section covers the cost of trophies and certificates awarded for that section. Details of the sponsorship will be included in the Championships' programme and inscribed on the trophy(ies) sponsored.
Those wishing to sponsor individual sections of competition can download an application form here.
A limited number of opportunities exist to advertise your company's goods and services in the official programme of the National Championships. Programmes are pored over by competitors and visitors to the Nationals on the days of the contest and are taken home to bands who did not attend and kept as souvenirs.
An application form for advertising in the Nationals' programme can be found here.
