On 3 September, the government approved a decision to partially change the requirements for applicants in the field of music and film. The aim of the changes concerning the field of music is to expand the target group of beneficiaries. An opportunity to apply for support is also given to those organizations in the field of music that did not qualify in the first call for applications. By the government decision, the maximum level of payment was abolished, which gives organizations, whose losses exceed 15,000 euros, the opportunity to apply for support that would compensate the full extent of the damages to ensure the sustainability of the organization. The changes concerning the support scheme for film are technical and the content of the support requirements and the target group will not change. The total allocation for the support measure for music and film in this call for applications is 2 million euros.
