ACT Festival Application Deadline: 25 February 2011
Festivals application deadline fast approaching
The closing date for applications for the ACT Festivals Programme is fast approaching.
South African arts and culture festivals have until Friday, 25 February to submit applications. The programme aims to assist festival organisers to extend their activities by applying for support to subsidise the participation of artists, performers and groups from peri-urban and rural areas who may not otherwise be able to participate. The target group for festival grants is children and youth.
Festivals taking place between 1 April and 15 November 2011 are eligible to apply for support. Successful applicants will be awarded grants up to a maximum of R45 000. At least 90% of the grant must be utilised to cover the cost of registration fees, venue/equipment hire, transport and accommodation of the designated groups. The remaining 10% may be utilised to cover the costs of administering the grant.
Application guidelines may be downloaded from www.act.org.za/programmes_festival.htm. For more information contact Deidre Schoeman on 011 712 8403 or e-mail deidre@act.org.za
The ACT Festivals Programme is sponsored by Breadline Africa (BLA), an African-based charity organisation which aims to help break the cycle of poverty within Africa.
