Application Form for Use of Name of Sponsor, etc. (Revised September 5, 2024)

On September 5, 2024, the "Inagi City Business Sponsorship Nominal Use Procedure Guidelines" were revised and renamed "Business Sponsorship Nominal Use Procedure Guidelines for the Operation of Public Businesses and the Use of Nominal Use."

As a result, the formats of various application forms have changed, so please check them.
In addition, it will be possible to use the name of Inagi City under an appropriate name other than "sponsorship" (such as "cooperation" or "sponsorship")
When deciding on approval for the use of the name of sponsor, etc., we reorganized the wording to ensure that the conditions regarding the organizer and content of the project were in line with the current situation.
