Cost of a Hosting Licence
We are offering a licence to host Ethics Olympiads either face to face or online. We will provide you with the training, facilities and support necessary to enable you to host the event. The training sessions will be conducted online via two training sessions. Your hosting licence will allow your institution to host and name an Ethics Olympiads for two years. e.g The University of Wollongong Ethics Olympiads or the Academy Conference Ethics Olympiads. After two years you have the option to renew your licence at a reduced rate.
During the period of your licence, we will provide resource kits, cases, (Please note you are free to use other cases, of your choice, but we will provide you with possible cases) and the online Ethics Olympiad Online Application (EO Application). The Application can be used with a face-to-face Olympiad or online Ethics Olympiads. It includes the coin toss, timers, cases etc.
Beyond the training and licence fee the event is cost neutral. You can charge an entrance fee $40-$50 (AUD) per team member. Each team consists of 5 team members. The entrance fee for each team is $200-250 (AUD). This income can cover all costs.
Licence Cost- The licence fee includes training sessions, resources, access to the online Olympiad application and updates for two years- Fee= $1400 AUD (roughly $1000 US). This fee is paid prior to the training. There might be a team of people involved in the training from your institution (Up to 5 people) or an individual.
Your licence will enable you and anyone at your institution to run Ethics Olympiads over two years. After two years you would have the option to renew your licence. ($890 AUD) for a further two years. During the period of your licence we would support you with resource kits, cases, and the online software package to use at your Ethics Olympiad which includes the coin toss, timers etc. This also includes any updates to the program and ongoing support.
Other possible costs- You can supply your own judging panel or we can provide judges. Medals = Roughly $12-$13 per medal = Fifteen medals- $195 AUD per Olympiad. If you are running the event online you will need to have a Zoom account that will allow you to conduct a 4-6 hour Zoom event. (the free account gives you 40 minutes FOC)
If you are running the event ‘Face to Face’ there will be other costs involved. e.g. Hall hire costs. If you are providing food for coaches and morning tea you will need to add this cost to your registration fee. Previously we have run these events with coaches as judges but we invited tertiary judges in after lunch for the finals. Note the cost of running this event is minimal if you are running the program at your school, as you can draw on your own school hall and colleagues to act as judges. Likewise if you are running the event for other schools and charging an entry fee this will cover your costs.
