Scotguy Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Having changed their minds yet again, The International Olympic Committee have decided that one more new sport will be added to the Olympic programme in time for the 2016 Games. This competition is open to all Gamesbids members and here is what you have to do. Firstly, pick your sport that you want to see included in the Games: This cannot be any of the existing sports, or Rugby 7's and Golf Once you have claimed your sport, what you need to do is to make a 2 page promotional brochure, outlining why your sport should be added, the bennefits and legacy to the games and cities hosting. You can add some pictures, graphics etc, basically just sell us all that sport The deadline for initial submissions is wednesday, 18th November, extensions can be granted if needed Once all the entries are in a shortlist will be announced and then a vote by poll will be done to see which sport gets included. Also i would like to have a debate with the shortlisted sports where they can promote their sports and be asked questions. Please email the brochures to Andy.chap@live.co.uk I will accept more than one brochure for the same sport Let the Comp begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am afraid that I can't participate in this fantastic competition - I am this and next week very busy in the office, since I have to act in place for my superior - this weekend I will watch a Bodybuilding competition, therefore I don't have really time for this competition - altough it depends on the day, when we have to send our entry...

Scotguy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Tomorrow is the deadline for claiming your sport, guys. So far we have had a good responce with 4/5 sports being proposed With tomorow ending the first phase of the contest, after i have recieved all the proposals the second phase will be complete on the 2nd december, with a vote proposed for around the same time. So should be a good turnaround time for this competition Keep up the good work guys Scotguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Scotguy, can't we wait with this compition until the logo competition has ended? Its quite possible that some GB members are focussing on the first started competition - we should give them the opportunity to join! And I have to admit that I am quite busy right now - therefore it would give me time to create a good factfile for the sport competition too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to postpone this competition until the logo competition has ended. I want to try new methods of bidding such as websites, bid videos, online debates and regular canvasing and gaining support of who is bidding So i am willing to postpone the Comp, if i am granted to opportunity to organise the next one Cheers guys Scotguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
