Since 2003 United Water has been a major sponsor of WOMADelaide. The event allows us to give back to the community we serve, supporting what we believe is the premier world music festival. Each year WOMADelaide has drawn larger crowds and presented an increasingly diverse blend of the best musicians from around the globe. Our involvement continues because the event has such broad appeal, thrilling devotees of world music with a selection of their favourite artists, and providing curious first-timers, both young and old, with a new perspective on the world of music.
The event is seamlessly delivered by a dedicated team of managers, stage crew and volunteers. Our on-site experience with our staff and VIP guests has been exceptional, and the opportunity to watch from a private backstage area during the performances is fantastic. United Water looks forward to a long association with WOMADelaide and we can't wait to see the line-up for 2007!

"Avant Card has sponsored WOMAD for 2 festivals, and what can I say, it just gets better! In appreciation of the high artistic standards that the Womad Festival attracts from local and international performers, Avant Card has committed to come on board as a sponsorship partner for another 3 year term. It's been a delightful experience dealing with Sandy and all the wonderful staff involved with Womad, even before the festival begins there is an air of excitement. The sponsors are really well looked after & the enjoyment of being backstage with the performers and the side stage bird's eye view is not to be missed. Womad is the best festival in Australia, and without a doubt is up there with the best in the world, keep up the fantastic work and Avant Card very much look forward to seeing you again in March."

"The extraordinary moments at WOMADelaide don't just come from the inspiring musicians you hear for the first time - there is a certain joy in discovering old friends from all over Australia, have also come to enjoy this remarkable event.
For months after WOMADelaide, everyone talks about the next one: visitors start planning their holidays around the event, the artists lobby to return and the locals remember just how beautiful Adelaide is in Autumn."
