A scheme has been launched that will provide financial assistance to carnival organisations in Gozo.
The funding will enable the organisations to rent premises that can be used for the construction of carnival floats.
Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri, speaking at the launch said, “through this scheme, we are continuing to strengthen the Carnival in Gozo as a cultural activity that attracts local audiences, as well as from Malta and overseas, therefore also making an economic contribution to Gozo.”
The scheme will be open until the 11th of December, and each applicant will be reimbursed up to a maximum of €20,000 per year which covers the rent of the premises.
The building must be rented for a period of up to a maximum of three years, which can be extended on an annual basis.
The Ministry for Gozo will be appointing a selection board that will see that the applications are in line with the eligibility criteria.
The application must be made online, where guidelines and regulations of the scheme, including the eligibility criteria are also available.
