Funding program offers additional certainty for Northern Territory event organisers

Applications are opening tomorrow for Round 1 of the 2022-2023 Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) Event Funding Program with funding offering additional certainty for event organisers, allowing them to better plan for the future and the longevity of their event, as well as reducing administration times and costs.

Multiple-year funding is now available across all four categories - Community Event Funding, Event Development Funding, Mass Participation Event Funding and Major Event Funding.

The program helps grow and develop the Territory’s events sector, and has created significant benefits for the Territory by increasing the quality and frequency of festivals and events, upskilling the local industry, and attracting interstate visitors to the NT. 

NT Minister for Major Events, Paul Kirby notes “the program also helps lengthen the Territory’s events calendar by incentivising events to be held in those traditionally quieter seasons and ultimately increasing the benefits to our economy throughout the year.

“Whether you’ve been running events in the Territory for years or are looking at staging a brand new event, this is the perfect opportunity to apply for support.”

Applications open at 9am on Monday 29th August 2022 and close on 23rd September 2022.  View the funding guidelines here and apply here
