Program Introduction
To promote the development of Macau's fashion design industry, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government has established the "2013 Fashion Design Sample Production Subsidy Scheme". The scheme targets local Macau fashion design professionals. Applicants must submit their works and related materials. After an initial and secondary selection, a professional jury will select the "subsidy recipients" and their "selected works". Recipients will be granted a subsidy to produce fashion design samples and promotional catalogues. The scheme aims to encourage local fashion designers to engage in commercial activities or participate in international fashion marketing events, thereby elevating the standard of local fashion design and promoting Macau's fashion design achievements.
