Good to know
- This competition is for organisations, not individual artists.
- Organisations that invite professionals or are planning an event in countries that receive development aid will be given preference. If your project does not involve these countries, you can receive up to 5,500 GBP to implement your idea.
- Planning to invite guests from across the border? Please note the UK's travel advice for Ukraine.
