Funding Strategy
and Partners
Carnivals enhance the creative industries, by creating employment for artists, set and costume designers, musicians, technicians and others in the creative industry. It is a great advertising tool for companies and a major attraction for tourists.
The Carnival will promote the participating countries, placing them on the world’s cultural/tourism and business maps.
Fundraising
We will be requesting Businesses, Art Councils and Foundations where applicable to facilitate artist participation through grants.
The Strategy for fundraising will be based on the concept of Commercial Partnership (C.P.) which is a concept offering 3 P.R areas for the commercial partner to buy into:
Contact-value
The value for the C.P. and its clients, future clients, employees as in direct contact with the Project and its artists in order to inspire and boost the energy and interest in/for the C.P
Concept-value
The rights of the partner to use the concept of the Project in their own P.R. campaigns such as slogans, photos, video-clips ( Concept-value can be used long after the Project’s “real” time, according to agreed terms in contract)
Exposure-value
The value of exposure in the media (news-papers, TV, radio, IT and printed materials during and after the process of the Project).
The Commercial Partners can choose to be a small, medium or main Partner. The Contract Agreements will clearly state the size of the partnership, which will directly relate to the size of Contact Value, Concept Value, and Exposure Value to be received by C.P.
The Commercial Partners may be found in business areas directly related to the Project’s practical needs such as, international and national travel, hotels, IT and communication, insurance, publicity and public relations, fees, administration costs and other areas.
