Event organisers in the Territory are being encouraged to apply for the latest round of the Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) Event Funding Program (EFP) as soon as possible, with applications closing next week.
The latest round of the EFP includes four categories, with multiple-year funding now available across Community Event Funding, Event Development Funding, Mass Participation Event Funding and Major Event Funding.
Offering additional certainty for event organisers, the new multiple-year funding model allows successful applicants to better plan for the future and longevity of their event, and also reduces administration times and costs.
Since its inception, the EFP has played an important role in bolstering the Territory’s events sector by increasing the quality of events and festivals, and upskilling industry stakeholders. In addition, the program has helped increase visitation by attracting more interstate visitors to the Territory to enjoy the incredible events calendar.
