Music BC Travel Grants

COVID-19 TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

April 30th, 2020

Due to the uncertain nature of global travel restrictions in the near future, Music BC will no longer be processing new artist or business travel grant applications. This will remain in effect until we receive clarity from various levels of government and national health authorities on the easing of restrictions.

Artists and businesses may still submit applications, however they will not be reviewed or awarded at this time. We will share further details and updates once travel restrictions are lifted. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you have any questions about an already submitted application due to a COVID-19 related cancellation, please contact jimmy@musicbc.org or email info@musicbc.org.

Music BC Travel Grants provide assistance to BC based artists to participate in touring and showcasing initiatives domestically and internationally, and BC based companies and individuals undertaking business travel activities in support of the BC music community. Read the updated guidelines before using the online forms to apply.

**Please note the guidelines for the Music BC Travel Grant Program for artists and businesses have been updated to provide additional clarity, effective immediately. Please take a moment to review our updated guidelines below.

**Please note the following changes to the Music BC Travel Grant Program, effective immediately:

  • Artists and Companies are welcome to submit more than one grant application per deadline, however, and provided one or more of the applications are ranked highly enough to be in a position of funding, only one grant will be awarded per deadline. Funding for the successful grant application may not be transferred to another grant application.
  • Companies may receive up to $10,000 CAD in funding per fiscal year (March 31st, 2019 – March 31st, 2020) through the Business Travel Grant program.
  • Emphasis will be given to applicants who have yet to receive significant funding from Music BC. For applicants who have received support through the travel grant program, consideration will be given to initiatives or markets that have not yet been attended, visited, or funded.
  • Until further notice, showcase applications for Canadian Music Week will not be accepted.

Feel free to contact our office or email info@musicbc.org with any questions on the above changes.
