Regional Events & Film Sponsorship

The City of Albany recognises the important role events and film play in celebrating the community’s diversity and talents, increasing cultural understanding, driving visitation, generating economic benefits and activating our beautiful parks, beaches and public spaces.

The City of Albany’s Regional Events & Film Sponsorship program supports the staging of major regional events and film productions that contribute to the delivery of economic benefits for the region. The program offers cash sponsorship only.

To be considered a regional major event, organisers must demonstrate in their application that the event has the capability to draw a significant number of visitors from outside of the region.

Film projects must demonstrate the project’s capacity to promote Albany and the Great Southern and make a positive impact on both the local economy and the
community’s exposure to diverse artistic experiences.

Event/film projects must be delivered between 1 July 2025 and 31 December 2025. A second round will open later in 2025 for event/film projects that will be delivered between 1 January 2026 and 30 June 2026, including for events that will embrace Albany 2026.

Please note: “film production” and “film sponsorship” refers to both film and television projects.
