Quotes from Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) CEO Tim Watsford:

“We have received numerous quality applications for our event funding program so far, but there is still time for event organisers in the Northern Territory to apply for the chance to secure a grant.

“The Territory has such a vibrant events calendar, and I look forward to seeing it expand with even more incredible festivals and events throughout the year. 

“We are proud to back the Event Funding Program as we know the immense value that events bring to our economy.

“Aside from employing locals and supporting Territory businesses, events also play a vital role in bringing visitors to the Top End, Red Centre and everywhere in between.”
