Festivals of Australia Banner Project
We have opened a new project and are asking all of our festivals to join us in presenting a "Festivals of Australia" banner page that is made up of the many festival banners used in Websites and Media Promotion. Select "Festivals Banner Information" from the main menu.
Also you may note random banner images are appearing at the top of each page of our web pages as they are visited. Out new program is set to display a new banner everytime there is a visit may to any of the Main Pages with a refresh program in place meaning that the longer someone is on a page the more banners they will see. There is a built in delay so someone will have time to click on the banner to go to the respective site. Please contact FAA Member Services if you wish to join us in the Program.
