Permitted value
Support may fund venue, accessibility, production, dissemination or other agreed programme costs in return for accurate, proportionate acknowledgement.
Sponsorship
Support that does not buy influence
Sponsorship can widen access and strengthen programme delivery only where editorial, adjudicative and reputational safeguards are preserved.
Reserved authority
EAB retains control of criteria, content, speakers, reviewers, jurors, moderation, findings and recognition outcomes.
Disclosure
Material sponsorship is identified in the relevant programme context. Undisclosed editorial control, pay-to-win recognition and misleading endorsements are not accepted.
