+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So geowoodstock VIII is coming up, okay, still 8 months away. Anyways, I know there will be a coin that is for the event by the people doing the event. Will other people be doing a coin for this event? Are there any rules about this? And in general, any sort of event? Just wondering the etiquette and such... Quote Link to comment
+River Cacher Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Some events have apecial request on what to do or not to do. This really needs brought up to the event staff. Hopefully they will post on here so we will all know for sure. I will be watching the thread to see. Thanks for bringing this up. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes, many events have rules about what people can put onto their coins. In the case of Geowoodstock, you are not allowed to put the wording: "Geowoodstock" on the coin. This is also true for GeocoinFest. Quote Link to comment

I think you can put certain things on your coins for a very small fee that goes to the event. Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The Geowoodstock word requires a licensing agreement as far as I remember. If you plan to SELL anything with that word on them, you will need to pay for the use, but if you are making personal items/coins that will not be sold, then the use is free, but you still need to do the agreement...that's what I remember. i originally wanted to, and still may make a die like the one I used for Coinfest, and make it's use available to others who want to make personak coins...I'll have to look into the rules of the licensing agreement.

+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Okay, I'll be in touch with them about volunteering soon, so I'll bring it up then or soon after. Hopefully it's not toooooo spendy, but it's all good Anyone have any experience with this and have a general idea of cost since I'm not patient enough for an answer...

+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Okay, I got the word on the event coins and the use of geowoodstock. All designs will need to be approved first, via the GW committee or whoever approves the design, if it's trackable, then Groundspeak will need to approve as well. Cost is free if you're giving them away, otherwise it's a buck a piece, both need approval. 100 coins = $100. Not sure if this is the norm or not, but it's reasonable since you're supporting the event in one way or another If you're doing something different, say stickers, there are other pricing options Quote Link to comment
ATMouse Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Since this thread says "event coins" and not just GeoWoodstock or GeocoinFest, I hope no one minds me adding information about the Allegany State Park GeoBash, held in May. The same rules (permission for use of the name, needing to have the design okay'd by the ASPGB Committee) apply to ASPGB as well. We are legally incorporated entity with the Feds and with NY State and a not-for-profit. (And whew! The process to get this done was not easy!) Quote Link to comment
