[CQ-Contest] WRTC2018 - Sponsored Teams - Invitation for Applications

[Michael Hoeding, DL6MHW]

The WRTC 2018 Organizing Committee is looking for applications for the 
first two sponsored teams beginning on June 1st, 2016.

Sponsored teams are a long-standing tradition in WRTC and a substantial 
part for fundraising. It gives the chance to take part in the WRTC to 
dedicated contesters who cannot qualify because of serious commitments. 
As shown in WRTC 2014 sponsored teams do compete with qualified teams on 
the same level and have reached top placements.

The selection criteria for WRTC 2018, defined in November 2015, list "up 
to 5 sponsored teams" in section 4. For the first two slots we welcome 
applications for sponsored teams according to the rules below:

- a short informal description of the sponsored team, e.g. the 
objectives and the planned OPs,
- an application sent to contact at wrtc2018.de after June 1st, 2016,
- a donation of at least EUR 15,000

After an announcement we will close the application process if there are 
too many applications. Applications for the remaining three sponsored 
teams will be accepted after the regular qualification process in 2017.
