The Tasmanian Government supports Tasmanians participating in sport and leading a healthy and active lifestyle and providing opportunities to host elite level competitions.
Applications for the grants under the annual ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾/International Sport Championships Program 2020-21 are now open.
Under these grants, $40,000 will be provided to eligible sporting organisations to host national and international championships within Tasmania between 12 October 2020 and 30 November 2021.
In 2019-20, the program provided funding of $40,000 to 13 sport and recreation organisations to assist with the hosting of championships, including the Mountain Bike Australia, ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Gravity Enduro Championships, the Paddle Australia Canoe Slalom Age Championships, and the Triathlon Tasmania Inc, Paratriathlon World Series.
The 2020-21 program will be especially important as sporting organisations around the state recover and rebuild from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program will be open for applications until 14 May 2021, or until program funds are exhausted.
