I have written/drawn/composed/created something that I think would be perfect for the Games. Can I send it in?

VANOC cannot accept any unsolicited proposals, suggestions or ideas regarding the creative aspects of the 2010 Winter Games, in order to protect the legal and commercial rights of both VANOC (as the recipient of proposals) and you (as a producer of creative work). When we are ready to begin accepting submissions, we will post further information on our website, and we encourage you to check it on a regular basis.

Only through the formal solicitation of proposals can VANOC ensure that the terms and conditions applicable to proposals and other submitted materials, including terms and conditions relating to ownership and intellectual property rights, are clearly established and understood by all parties prior to the submission.

In the event VANOC receives an unsolicited proposal, VANOC has developed a protocol to address such unsolicited proposals. In particular, upon receipt by VANOC of an unsolicited proposal, such submissions are immediately forwarded, without consideration or review, to the Proposal Administrator for handling. The Proposal Administrator will then seal such proposals, in perpetuity, in files that are only accessible by the Proposal Administrator.
