Final chance to apply for latest Event Funding round

Anyone interested in applying for the latest round of the Northern Territory Government’s Event Funding Program has until 11 February 2022 to get their application in.

The program, run by the Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC), helps organisers establish exciting new events, and develop those that already exist. Organisers can apply for funding under one of the following four categories: Mass Participation Event, Major Event, Event Development and Community Event.

NTMEC CEO Tim Watsford said the events industry plays a vital role in the Territory’s post-COVID recovery, and the Event Funding Program offers an extra level of support for event organisers.

“Every year applications for the Event Funding Program show there is a huge appetite for holding vibrant, memorable events, and we look forward to seeing what creative ideas are put forward this round to help expand and develop the Territory’s events calendar further,” he said.
