Anyone wishing to safeguard arts and cultural events planned in Austria between 1 March 2021 and 31 December 2022 with regard to possible COVID 19 restrictions can now apply for the "protective umbrella for events".
With this protective umbrella, events that are cancelled or significantly restricted due to corona can be covered in advance (subsidy: max. 90% of the eligible costs).
You can apply at öht.at, where you will also find all the documents, requirements and much more.
The ÖMR has kindly provided a very clear summary of all the points concerning the application for the protective umbrella.
