The administration has approved a program today to provide financial support to participants and winners of international competitions and festivals in the field of culture. The Prime Minister, Zhanan Andreasyan, stated that the program aims to encourage the development of cultural and creative industries, enhance recognition of artistic and creative results, create favorable conditions for cultural practitioners, and introduce state funding in the field of culture. The program includes international festivals and competitions, as well as participation and award ceremonies approved by international organizations such as WAPA, EFA, FIAPF, and others. The list of approved events can be found in the project document.

In order to be eligible for participation, international competitions and festivals must meet certain criteria outlined by FIAPF, such as having an international format, regular implementation, international jury members, and state support. For example, the International Film Festival, organized by FIAPF since 1933, includes 51 film festivals that encompass various genres and types. To be part of this series, festivals must meet criteria like having an international format, significant attendance, premiere screenings, international jury members, and state and public support. These requirements ensure the authenticity of the event and give the festival FIAPF accreditation. The same principles apply to other international organizations within different fields.

This program is a significant step towards supporting and promoting cultural initiatives on an international scale. It not only provides financial assistance to participants and winners of cultural competitions and festivals but also aims to boost the cultural and creative industries. By encouraging recognition of artistic and creative achievements, the program creates an environment where cultural practitioners can thrive. It also establishes mechanisms for state funding in the cultural sector, ensuring the sustainability of the program. The approval of this program demonstrates the government’s commitment to supporting and promoting the cultural sector in the country.

The inclusion of international organizations like WAPA, EFA, and FIAPF ensures the credibility and quality of the festivals and competitions covered by the program. These organizations have extensive experience and expertise in their respective fields, guaranteeing that the events they approve meet international standards. The list of approved festivals, competitions, and award ceremonies can be found in the project document, providing transparency and clarity for both participants and the public. It allows cultural practitioners to easily access information about eligible events and apply for financial support through the program.
