Samsung offers chance to get photo on Sydney Opera House sails as part of sponsorship deal
Aussies will be able to get their photos on the sails of the iconic Sydney Opera House as part of a new competition to tie in with Samsung becoming principal commercial partner of the Australian landmark.
The multi-million-dollar, three year deal is the largest ever for the Opera House and also consumer electronics company Samsung’s largest arts sponsorship. As part of the deal, Samsung will provide technology support.
Minister for tourism, major events and the arts, George Souris said: “The introduction of Samsung’s technological expertise to one of the world’s most recognised and celebrated buildings will greatly enhance the visitor experience to the Sydney Opera House with the innovation of live sites. This will take functionality of the Sydney Opera House to another level.”
the Opera House as a billboard. Fantastic
Ummm, did anyone else spot the SPELLING MISTAKE here?
I think that PRINCIPLE commercial partner should have been PRINCIPAL commercial partner
While Samsung would probably love to be regarded as “a law or rule that has to be, or usually is to be followed” [Wiki], I suspect that it’s just the “primary; most important” [Wiki].
Picky picky picky? Nah, I just take good spelling and good grammar as a pretty reliable predicator of good writing, and that of course is key to good thinking.
Thanks peepee,
A small but silly error. Thanks for pointing it out.

Have you actually read the T’s and C’s of this competition?
It’s disgusting; amongst other things any entry submitted effectively becomes the property of the promoter and they have the right to use your image in whatever way they want to, however they want to, now and into the future without any notification to, or recourse from you. (Condition 12)
I’d be avoiding this one.
And how is this different to Vivid?
Gosh Mike, I hope you are not on Facebook then!
I urge you all to read the Ts&Cs of this competition which claims “non-exclusive, royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide licence to the Promoter and the Sydney Opera House Trust” and “The Participant agrees to indemnify the Promoter and the Sydney Opera House Trust against all claims and costs by third parties arising from a breach of warranty set out in these Terms and Conditions”. As a professional, I am well aware of the implications of these sorts of terms, but the average punter has no idea of what they are signing up to. Shame. It could be great with realistic and fair terms.
Dodgy Terms and Conditions, do not enter!!
