Application for Urban Event Sponsorship- DRAFT
Application Due Date: May 30, 2019
The Nevada Division of Tourism (TravelNevada) makes urban sponsorships available on a fiscal year basis to Nevada events for the purpose of promoting tourism in communities with populations over 200,000 that are ineligible for rural program grants. The Division’s objectives are as follows:
To provide funding to new and existing events for the promotion of Nevada adventure, sports, arts, cultural and history that have the potential to generate tourism to or within the state. Preference will be given to events which have high potential for drawing out-of-market, out-of-state, or international attendance, improve direct visitor spending, and promote overnight stays.
To provide seed funding for new events or to assist with event growth. Future sponsorship funding will decrease over time as the events become successful enough to become self-sustaining.
