Application for the granting of the town’s patronage 

Procedure for granting the patronage of the town of Příbram

The patronage of the City of Příbram may be granted to significant and exceptional social, cultural, sporting, educational and other events of general public benefit taking place within the city limits. Events are considered important and beneficial if their organisation enhances the town’s prestige and appeals to significant sections of the public, such as festivals, performances, concerts, shows, exhibitions and competitions that promote the values of freedom, democracy, justice and humanity, as well as significant artistic expressions or activities by members of the public deserving of support. The granting of the town’s patronage lends these events gravitas and significance.

The conditions for granting patronage are as follows:

1. fulfilment of the above-mentioned requirements
2. a commitment that information regarding the granting of patronage will be included on all related materials (e.g. leaflets, posters, invitations, catalogues, etc.),
3. information about the patronage must be presented at the event itself and in the media,
4. the town’s logo, provided authorisation for its use is granted, must be displayed on promotional materials in an appropriate size and in a suitable position.

Patronage is granted on the basis of a written application from the event organiser, provided that the above conditions are met. The application must be addressed to the mayor of the town whose patronage is being sought. The application must include as much information as possible that is relevant to the assessment of the event in question; see the application template. Applications are collected and processed by the Communications and Tourism Department of the Příbram Town Council. The mayor of Příbram decides on the granting of the town’s patronage following discussion at a meeting of the mayor’s advisory board. He informs the Town Council of his decision at the next meeting. Patronage is granted in writing in the form of a notice of patronage. Organisers of events for which the town has granted patronage may be granted permission to use the Příbram town logo* for promotional and representative purposes in connection with the organisation of the event. This must be stated in the application.

* Permission to use the town’s logo is granted by the Department of Communications and Tourism on the authority of the Příbram Town Council.
