Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your kind guidance and formal permission regarding the use of Eurovision branding, specifically for a website I am developing as part of a creative project titled God Bless Eurovision. This project imagines a fictional scenario where the Vatican participates in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2029 as part of an outreach initiative to engage with a wider audience.
At this stage, we are focused solely on the website, where the draft script and related content are available for public review and feedback. We are not currently seeking permission for any final movie production, as this is still a zero-budget project, and we do not yet have a producer willing to invest. Any negotiations regarding rights and licensing for the movie will be deferred until such time as we are able to secure production support.
For the website, we would like to request permission to display Eurovision-related symbols and references, such as the Eurovision logo, programme format, and voting procedure, in connection with the draft script and promotional materials. As this is an exploratory phase, we are unable to pay any licensing fees, and we would deeply appreciate any guidance on how we may use these elements without incurring costs.
We are fully committed to ensuring that the website’s use of Eurovision imagery is respectful and remains within any limitations you may deem necessary. We would also be happy to include any disclaimers or clarifications to make it clear that this is a fictional project and does not indicate any official affiliation with Eurovision or the European Broadcasting Union.
Lastly, I kindly request permission to publish any response from your office, positive or negative, to demonstrate that we have sought and obtained the necessary permissions in good faith.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your feedback and hope to move forward with your guidance in ensuring that the Eurovision brand is represented appropriately on the project’s website.
Sincerely,
Anders Andersson
God Bless Eurovision Project
