Multicultural communities have the opportunity to celebrate and honour people, organisations and events with nominations now open for the Multicultural Festivals and Events (MFE) program and Victorian Multicultural Awards for Excellence.

Mr Northe is encouraging multicultural community groups to apply for grants to support multicultural and multi-faith festivals and events online, giving communities the opportunity to celebrate their culture and be able to connect through alternate platforms.

"Multicultural communities have faced unique challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, with changes and cancellations to many events and festivals that occur to celebrate their culture" Mr Northe said.

A modified round of Multicultural Festivals and Events (MFE) will take place for the 2020-21 program. There will be two grant streams available for the MFE 2020-21 Digital Round one grant applications:

• Digital Festivals and Events Stream:
• Small category – up to $2,000
• Medium category – between $3,000 and $9,999
• Large category – between $10,000 and $50,000
• Digital Capability for Organisations Stream – up to $3,000
