MidCoast Council's latest round of event sponsorship opened in December with applications being assessed on the level of economic, social and cultural benefits generated through the event.
"Events were one of the first things to be cancelled when COVID-19 hit and all parts of the industry have suffered, so we are really looking forward to being able to support great local events again in 2021/22," council's economic development coordinator, Robyn Brennan said.
"We know there'll be some changes to the way these events are run and we'll all need to adapt to a new normal. Events are very important to our local communities."
Music festivals, sporting events and art shows, through to food, fashion and performance, are eligible and depending on the scale of the event, four categories of funding are offered:
- Community event: Up to $2,000
- Medium event: $2,000 - $5,000
- Large event: $5,000 - $10,000
- Iconic event: $10,000+
Applications must be submitted online using the event sponsorship application form, while organisers of 'Iconic Events' should contact council's events team prior to submitting their application.
Applications will be accepted until February 28, 2021.
All applicants are required to submit an event budget using MidCoast Council's event budget template, available on the website.
