Guyanese encouraged to apply for Cultural and Creative Industries Grant

Guyanese across the country are encouraged to apply for the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports’ Cultural and Creative Industries Grant with the promise of earning up to $1 million.
The main objective of the grant is to support the setting up or expansion of cultural products or projects within Guyana’s creative sector.
What sets this initiative apart is not only the ambition of its financial allocation, but the core principles that underpin it. With an annual budget of $30 million, this grant represents a monumental investment in the Caribbean, unprecedented in its scale.
Each grant, approximately US$5000, aims to empower individuals with the resources they need to turn their creative visions into reality. The programme is firmly anchored in the values of inclusivity and diversity, reflecting the Government’s unwavering commitment to unifying the country and its recognition of the importance of culture.
For those eager to participate, the application process is straightforward and inclusive. To be eligible for consideration, applicants must be Guyanese and have been residents of Guyana for at least two years prior to applying.
Applications are to be submitted online no later than November 30.
