Use of Sponsorship Name

Regarding the Use of Support and Sponsorship Names

Guidelines for the Administration of Public Projects and the Use of Names

As of September 5, 2024, the "Guidelines for the Use of Inagi City Name in Business Support" have been revised and renamed to "Guidelines for the Operation of Public Projects and the Use of Name." As a result, the formats for various Application Forms have been changed, so please check them. Additionally, it is now possible to use the Inagi City name under appropriate titles other than "support" (such as "cooperation" or "sponsorship"). When approving the use of names for support, the conditions regarding the organizers and content of the project have been organized to reflect the current situation. For detailed information, please refer to the below and the PDF file "Guidelines for the Operation of Public Projects and the Use of Name."
