Production Fund for Out of Province Artists

This program is designed to encourage production activity in the Manitoba music recording industry by providing re-payable financial support for recordings featuring non-Manitoba resident artists.

Summary

• Financial participation will be in the form of a loan of up to $10,000.00, or up to 50% of cash budget or whichever is the lesser.
• The level of financial participation will be determined on a project-by-project basis through adjudication by a jury process.  The jury will adjudicate based on the overall strength of the submission as well as the long term benefit the project will have on the Manitoba Company applying.
• The loan will be repayable in accordance with pre-determined Manitoba Film & Music rates currently set at $1.00 for each sale.
• Manitoba Film & Music will also be entitled to recoup 10% of all other revenue paid to the applicant from the sale of Masters recorded under this program.  This revenue may include, but not be limited to online sales, and licenses for film and television.
• Project funds will be disbursed according to a prearranged schedule and reporting requirements.
