Further, applicants will now be asked to create an account and draft event with the booking system Plinth. The event will not be visible to the public and can be edited later.

Answer:

If applicants are unsuccessful in this round of applications, there will be an application later in the year to run only the Christmas 2026-27 Programme.

Unsuccessful applicants or those who missed the deadline can apply there.

Any unsuccessful Christmas applicants that meet a reasonable scoring threshold during the Summer 2026 application round will have their applications placed on file and be able to bid later in the year for the remaining funding for Christmas 2026-27 through a short expression of interest form.

New applicants for the Christmas 2026-27 Programme will be able to apply later in the year with a new application that mirrors the annual grants process application to ensure equity of opportunity.

Answer:

No, your choice of programme will not affect the scoring of your application.

Applications will not gain or lose points based on whether you apply for summer only or for both Summer and Christmas.
