Applications for the 2014 Subsidy Programme for the Production of Original Song Albums, launched by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) in September, will close on Thursday, 27 November 2014. All interested parties are welcome to take this chance to apply for the Programme.

To promote the development of Macao’s music industry, IC launched the 2014 Subsidy Programme for the Production of Original Song Albums in September. Successful candidates will be granted subsidies for the production, marketing and promotion of a song album in CD and digital format. The aim is to increase opportunities for local music creators and producers to release their works and launch more local original music. The Programme will subsidise a maximum of eight candidates and each selected song album will be granted a subsidy up to MOP200,000.

The Programme’s application rules and forms can be downloaded from IC’s website (www.icm.gov.mo/dpicc/sps/defaultE.aspx) and from the Macao Cultural and Creative Industries website (www.macaucci.com/en/).
