The Commission on Special Events is seeking innovative and exciting proposals for Special Events throughout 2016 and beyond that support the collective vision of Vail as the world’s “Premier International Mountain Community”. “Special Event Rating Criteria” (Attachment A: Event Definitions and Evaluation Criteria) will be used to evaluate all proposals with respect to how they align with a strategic approach to providing a diverse calendar of events that are well matched to the “Vail” brand and will exceed the expectations of a sophisticated and international clientele. Producers will self-select one of two categories when they submit their RFP. Recreational, Cultural and Community events are measured primarily with respect to how well they will drive destination visitation. Educational and Enrichment events are evaluated by how they contribute to life long learning, a sense of well being and enhanced quality of life. These categories have different criteria and scorecards tailored to the type of event. Producers should submit all of the required information electronically in PDF format, utilizing the attached “2016 RFP Application” form to the Commission on Special Events no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, October 19, 2015.
