How applications are considered
Every application is reviewed by the Vine team. We look at how your work connects to sport, what you want from the network and what you can contribute.
We may decline or waitlist an application where the connection to sport is weak, where a category is already well represented, or where behaviour could undermine trust in the network.
The application asks
- Your current role and organisation
- How your work connects to sport
- Relevant sponsorships, partnerships or properties
- What you want from The Vine
- Who you would value meeting
- What you can contribute
- Who referred you
