The third installment of creative vouchers from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, i.e. subsidies for cooperation between creatives and companies, will begin in March 2025. However, the database of creatives can be supplemented and updated no later than mid-January.
The Creative Voucher is an effective way to connect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with professionals in the cultural and creative industries (CCI). This financial instrument supports innovation, improves the presentation of products and services and increases the competitiveness of companies. The program has been successfully operating in previous years, so the Department of Cultural and Creative Industries of the Ministry of Culture is issuing a call for the provision of creative vouchers in 2025.
How does it work?
Businesses can receive financial support for creative services or products. A key prerequisite is the selection of a supplier from the Creative Gallery – a specialized database of experts in creative fields, which allows filtering by focus and region. Suppliers not included in this database are not eligible for funding through vouchers. In contrast to previous calls, a binding deadline has been set for sending requests to update profiles in the Creative Gallery (via https://vouchery.kreativnicesko.cz/ until 15. 1. 2025).
You can find current information about the program and funding options on the platform kreativnicesko.cz.
What activities or areas can be financed with creative vouchers?
This call focuses on areas that improve the presentation, appearance or functionality of the applicant's product/service. The emphasis is on collaboration between the applicant and the creative, and the applicant should also be active throughout the process.
A new feature is the two-phase reception of subsidy applications.
Applications will be accepted through the Ministry of Culture's Subsidy Portal in two stages:
– in the period 3. 3. – 7. 3. Applicants will be able to submit their projects who were not supported in previous calls NPO 381-395, 461 and 463 (Creative Vouchers I-II and Vouchers in the field of audiovisual)
– in the period 10.3. – 14.3. Applicants will be able to submit their projects who were supported in previous calls NPO 381-395, 461 and 463 (Creative Vouchers I-II and Vouchers in the field of audiovisual)
