Themed Years Funding

Scotland’s Themed Years has been running since 2009 as a way to celebrate a particular side to Scotland that deserves recognition. 2020 is the Year of Scotland's Coasts and Waters, while in 2022 the focus will be on the Year of Scotland's Stories. Funding is available for events and festivals applications related to the current Themed Year. Although current applications are closed, why not have a look at the criteria and start thinking how your business can help celebrate future years and make the most of this opportunity.
