NEW EFFE DEADLINE 24 February

Now all of you who did not have the time to apply before the weekend get a second chance. The application period is extended to February 24th at 23:59 hours. I hope it might be a carrot to everyone who applied in 2015 and got the EFFE Label to apply again. But also for you who are seeing this for the first time to take the opportunity and apply NOW! Sweden Festivals, the Swedish hub, will assists all applicants who experience problems. Read more below when Tibor Navracsics, EU Commissioner for Culture, urge festivals to continue their important work.

“In supporting intercultural dialogue, the Commission relies on the ideas, networks and capacities of many partners. Bringing this diverse range of policies and projects to life would not be possible without the European Parliament, authorities and cultural institutes in the Member States as well as organisations like the European Festivals Association. We will need to continue to work together.”

24 February is the last day for eligible festivals to apply for the EFFE Label 2017-2018 and contribute to make the European Label for Festivals a success together.
