Coimisiún na Méan has today (08.10.24) launched a new funding round under its Sponsorship Scheme. Up to €300,000 in total is being made available to support a range of media-related events and activities for the forthcoming year, 2025.
Sponsorship can be sought for media sector events and activities that align with An Coimisiún’s aim to ensure a thriving, diverse, creative and safe media landscape. Levels of funding available to successful applicants will vary depending on the nature of the event, its relevance to An Coimisiún’s work, and promotional aspects included in the application.
Commenting on the launch of the new Sponsorship Scheme round, Coimisiún na Meán Media Development Commissioner Rónán Ó Domhnaill said: “Coimisiún na Meán is committed to supporting a media landscape which reflects and shapes who we are as a society. Supporting media events and activities happening both nationally and locally, across the island of Ireland is an important part of our work to achieve this objective. I am delighted to launch the new round of our Sponsorship Scheme, which is a great opportunity for those in the media sector to seek sponsorship for events and activities taking place in 2025.’’
‘’The Sponsorship Scheme recognises the creativity of Ireland’s media sector and seeks to fund events and activities which reflect the diversity of Irish society. We would be delighted to see sponsorship proposals from a diverse range of groups across the island by the closing date of Monday, 4th November.”
Previous recipients of funding from the Coimisiún na Meán Sponsorship Scheme include: the Galway Film Fleadh, the Dingle Animation Festival, the Belfast Media Festival and the Catalyst International Film Festival, the Choice Music Prize – which showcases the best of Irish music, and Gradaim Chumarsáide an Oireachtais/Oireachtas Media Awards – which celebrates excellence and achievement in the Irish language media sector.
