IVAO PR serves +50 divisions. Divisions maintain their own social media channels, and IVAO members who are interested in their events will follow them. Hence, IVAO HQ social media promoting divisional events should be considered as an exception, and should primarily serve to inform users on HQ news.
The procedure below has been put in place to maintain the quality of HQ Social Media posts, and divide the promotion as fairly as possible across divisions.
The number of tokens indicates how often a division can request an event promotion. The tokens are reset every year.
Every division will get 5 tokens* per year (still undecided, spending on feedback PR receives from divisions).
*For the remainder of 2023, we have set the number of tokens at 3. This number may change depending on feedback and returns.
The tokens per division can be viewed here.
To apply for a HQ Social Media Request the event shall meet the following requirements.
We trust your understanding that for a variety of reasons, IVAO Public Relations Department might not always be able to accommodate all requests. In such cases, no token will be deducted.
HQ Social Media Requests can only be requested by Divisional Public Relations Staff or Divisional HQ Staff. Requests requested by other staff will be rejected.
Please send an e-mail to social@ivao.aero with the formal request using the template below.

In the case of an event organized by multiple divisions, it is up to the divisions to determine who will use a token. A token will therefore only be removed from one division.
The division sending the request uses a token. Always put the fellow divisions in the CC. (e.g. xx-publicrelations@ivao.aero).
