Getting ready to CRUSH the most out of October 2010
CRUSH RECEIVES QERDP FUNDING
CRUSH is benefiting from funding under the Queensland Events Regional Development Program (QERDP). A total of $10,000 has been granted to support marketing initiatives for the event.
The QERDP is an investment program designed to extend the flow of economic and social benefits of events to regional Queensland. A state-wide initiative, the program is committed to enhancing existing events in regional Queensland, as well as assisting in the establishment of new events. Since the QERDP began in 2001, more than $15.3 million has been invested in 705 regional events, an indicator of the important role these events play in their communities and wider Queensland.
CRUSH WANTS YOU!
Do you have an arts event happening in the month of October in the Bundaberg Region? Are you a regionally practicing artist/ performer who has something to offer the CRUSH festival. Please get in touch with Festival Coordinator Shelley Pisani and let her know about your ideas at shelley@creativeregions.com.au
Submissions close end of June.
We are also calling for CRUSH Volunteer Ambassadors for 2010. Ambassadors attend events wearing our signature t-shirt, hand out promotional materials about the festival and survey event audiences to obtain valuable information that is used to build our case for funding and sponsorship. Please email Shelley if you are interested.
