The fund does not cover short or long-term professional training or workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=mlk4wWcZ1Jk%3Frel%3D0%26hd%3D0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fund, which deploys EUR18,000 for the current year, will support 100% of the costs to implement the project, not exceeding EUR 4,000.

The Young talent Fund covers projects having a maximum duration of one month between October 2018 and October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fund is competitive and each eligible application will be evaluated according to established criteria, including the artistic merit of the project and the artistic relevance of the opportunity; the value of the platform and of the opportunity; the professional and financial management of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheYoung Talent Fund is in line with Arts Council Malta\u2019s focus on internationalization,\u201d said Arts Council Malta executive chairman Albert Marshall.
