1 - Association
An association with The Isle of Wight International Jazz Festival brand will raise the profile of any organisation and we are interested in working with our sponsors to build mutually rewarding long-term relationships.

2 - Fees
Sponsorship fees reflect the status of the performers, profile of the event, place in the programme, visibility requirements for the sponsoring organisation and organisational costs. Fee levels vary on specific sponsorship opportunities but are based as follows:

Title Sponsorship
100,000 plus

Principal Sponsors
36,000 to 55,000

Premier Sponsors
21,000 to 35,000

Major Sponsors
11,000 to 20,000

Festival Sponsors
2,500 to 10,000

In Kind and Shared sponsorship packages available on request

3 - Title Sponsorship
Title Sponsorship packages are built around the sponsoring organisation’s requirements, but a key benefit is the profile achieved by incorporating the company logo within the Festival logo on all literature and banners erected at Festival venues and throughout the Island prior to and during the Festival.

4 - Premier and Principal Sponsors
Principal/Premier Sponsorship is most suited to organisations requiring a high level exposure and a flexible package. At this level we provide ideal opportunities for product and brand promotion, named sponsorship and full branding of key venues such as Festival Marquees and The Winter Gardens and named sponsor of a series of headline or co-programmed events.

5 - Major Sponsors and Festival Sponsors
The support of Sponsors makes a real difference to the quality of the Festival programme. Sponsorship packages can be flexible, tailored to suit the level of expenditure committed and exposure required and offers an opportunity of a partnership with an important national and international brand, a method of increasing brand awareness and raising company profile, an opportunity for corporate hospitality and client entertaining, an association with excellence and creativity, a way of demonstrating commitment to the community and priority booking.

The Jazz Festival and associated events throughout the year have their own educational programme as a core for their existence. Education projects are tailored to suit and seek to extend into new social and geographical areas. We have a continuing dialogue with teachers to help us develop and evaluate our programme and aim to offer students something outside their ordinary experience.
Our only limits are budgetary constraints as our projects are at low subsidised cost or free to participants. The growing reputation of the Festival enables us to secure the services of well known and outstandingly talented Musicians and Tutors to inspire and enlighten all those who come in contact with them. This year we have education projects for musically talented adults, young adults and school children.
Educational work is a vital part of the Festival and with the generosity of our sponsors, we aim to give selected schools free tickets to many festival events and provide many local school children with their first experience of going to a Jazz concert and understanding Jazz of all types. The The Festival, associated events and workshops are for everyone and we seek actively to promote this policy.
