Submission of Programme Proposals

The Pop Culture Programmes Office (PCPO) welcomes proposals for first-rate and creative programmes related to local pop culture for the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival. Such programmes may be hosted by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department or held under sponsorship. Programme proposals should contain detailed information on the programme concept, form of presentation, artist(s) involved, production details, estimated budget and background of the artist(s) or arts group (such as reviews and audio/video recordings of past performances). Generally speaking, it takes 12 to 18 months for the PCPO to process a programme proposal. Proposals submitted less than 6 months before the proposed performance date may not be considered.

Assessment Criteria and Procedures

All programme proposals are assessed in detail according to the same set of criteria, which include the professional and artistic merits of the programme, its artists and production personnel, the relevance of the proposed programme to the theme and objectives of the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival, the overall programme mix of the Festival, the estimated budget and technical viability of the proposed programme, and market considerations. Assessment of proposals will be conducted at the Programme Meetings of the PCPO, and recommendations will be submitted to the Art Form Sub-committee (Festivals) for comment.
