According to the statement, this year’s programme comprises two categories: the album category and the mini album category, with each selected album being granted a subsidy of up to 270,000 patacas and 135,000 patacas respectively, as well as professional advice from members of the jury. The statement added that the subsidy will be given to a maximum of three and six beneficiaries for the album and mini album categories respectively.
The statement said that applications for the album category and the mini album category are accepted in the programme (excluding compilations or greatest hits albums).
