Dear Exhibitor,

Congratulations and thank you for your participation at the Sydney Royal.

As the Chief Executive of the RAS, I hereby grant you permission to use the artwork for your winning product, subject to the following conditions:-

1) You must only use the Gold Medal Logo on the product that won Gold in that class, you must not use the logo on other products, the same rule applies for products that won Silver.

2) You will note that the logo states the year of the competition and the class number that your product won. This information must be clear on the winning product and should not be removed from the logo.

3) You must not change the design, shape, colour or wording on the logo or do anything to the logo that may be misleading to the public. The only alteration permitted it to insert the class number and year for the product that won.

4) The logo can be used for the life of the winning product providing that the ingredients and method of production for your product remains the same. To ensure that the taste and quality of the product remains the same as the day that it won the competition.

Protecting the integrity of the Sydney Royal competitions is of great importance to the RAS. Therefore the RAS reserves the right to disqualify, ban from future competitions, take legal action against or report to the relevant Authorities any exhibitor who is in breach of these conditions.

For your information I attach below the extract from the General Regulations regarding Intellectual Property (i.e. the medal logos).

If you have any further queries please contact Helen Parker your Sydney Royal Fine Food and Dairy Produce Coordinator.

Yours sincerely

PETER KING
Chief Executive
