Can I advertise?

The current WDSF website policy only allows organisers of WDSF competitions and partners to publish advertisement for their events on the WDSF website.

What do I need to provide?

To start advertising we require the following:

Website address

A website address the visitor is directed to if they click on your advertising.

If you do not have an own website, the banner can be directed to the WDSF competition information page about your competition. This page can contain a downloadable registration form of further downloadable documents as seen in this example.
