With 2019 just around the corner, event organisers in the Hunter are being encouraged to apply for the NSW Governments Flagship Event Fund.
The fund, used earlier this year by The Newcastle Writers Festival, supports the local communities tourism industry.
Organisers can apply for annual or triennial grants to assist in marketing their events outside the local area.
The state government is making it easier for organisers to access the initiative this year, with the fund being offered in 2 rounds, with only one application process.
Applications for round one close Monday 8 October, with round two opening in February next year.
Those eligible wishing to lodge an application are can visit Destination NSW to access the grant.
