Registered local art and cultural associations, as well as individuals, can now submit proposals for programmes in the 35th Macao Arts Festival, with the registration deadline being on October 31, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) said in a statement on Friday.
According to the statement, the MAF is slated to be held in April and May next year, adding that local registered associations and Macau ID card holders aged at least 18 can send in submissions.
The statement added that submissions of all performing genres are welcome for the “Individual Programmes” category, with priority given to new works that have not been reproduced or never publicly performed in Macau. Programmes chosen will be granted a subsidy for production to be premiered in the 35th MAF, the statement said.
The “Performing Arts Gala” will also be accepting proposals for outdoor family programmes, with all performing styles welcome, and priority will be given to “works featuring interactive activities and ethnic characteristics”, according to the statement.
The statement said that one can download the regulations and application forms on www.icm.gov.mo/EN/CallForFAM35, adding that submissions should be made via email to fam@icm.gov.mo before 5 p.m. on October 31.
Following the first assessment phase, those shortlisted need to attend an interview with the jury panel in late November to present the concept of their creations.
Enquiries can be made by contacting IC on 8399 6625 or 8399 6621, or by emailing fam@icm.gov.mo.
