IFACCA has released a summary of responses to the recent query from Ben Strout, Australia Council for the Arts, on arts agencies' support for externally managed arts competitions. The report contains information from nine countries about their arts agency's policies on externally managed competitions - whether agencies provide recurring support, one-off support, or exclude support altogether. The report can be downloaded here. This was a quick query that was used for reporting to the Australia Council's governing body, and reinforced the Council's policy of providing assistance to externally managed competitions on a case-by-case basis only. IFACCA is interested in hearing from anyone who can add to the information in the report (email: [email protected]).
