Applying for sponsorship funding
Event organisers are encouraged to review the program guidelines to understand the funding objectives, eligibility requirements and assessment criteria.
Event organisers should then complete the Event Funding Eligibility Assessment Form. Eligible submissions will be reviewed by Tourism WA and, where appropriate, applicants will be invited to submit a detailed proposal for assessment.
To allow sufficient time for assessment and consideration, detailed event proposals should be submitted at least 12 months before the event date.
