Regional Event Fund Open yesterday

The 2022-23 Regional Event Fund opened yesterday, with a total allocation of $1 million available this round. 

This is a $1 million boost for regional events designed to strengthen SA's events calendar and create local jobs in the regions. 

There are four categories: 

SIGNIFICANT EVENT FUNDING (from $50,000): up to three years' funding for new large scale signature events that have the potential to be nationally or internationally significant and which provide substantial visitation, media and profiling opportunities and economic impact for South Australia

ESTABLISHED EVENT FUNDING ($20,000-$50,000): up to three years' funding for events that can demonstrate a strong track record of growth and a strategy for event innovation

DEVELOPMENT FUNDING ($10,000-$20,000): up to three years' funding for events that demonstrate potential for growth and development

EMERGING EVENT FUNDING ($5,000-$10,000): up to two years funding for events that are one to three years young, with a focus on smaller community events

The 2022-23 Regional Event Fund will support events held between 1 September 2022 and 30 August 2023. Applications for Round One will open on Sunday, 30 January 2022 and will close at 5 pm on Friday, 22 April 2022. Round Two will open in August 2022.
