Argentina. The National Communications Agency, Enacom, announced the opening of the contest for the first three lines of the Competitive Development Fund for Audiovisual Media, Fomeca. The closing dates for the presentation of projects will be: for line 4, until March 23; for line 5, until 13 April; and for line 3, until May 2, 2018, in all cases.
This means that all those media that are dedicated to the management and production of radio and audiovisual content that are interested in participating in the subsidy program, can already submit their projects to obtain financing.
In this edition, a lower percentage of counterparts is requested from non-profit organizations, with which they will be able to access the benefit by contributing a lower percentage of money to the project, making this tool reach more sectors of communication.
"I am proud to announce that this 5th Edition of Fomeca brings as a novelty the simplification of the registration processes. This means expanding the possibilities of access to financing for more actors in community communication. A diverse and federal audiovisual production is the only one that guarantees the true plurality of voices," said Enacom President Miguel De Godoy.
The registration process will be carried out, for the first time, in a complete way through the Distance Procedures (TAD) platform by entering www.tramitesadistancia.gob.ar or through the AFIP page, validating the CUIT of the legal representatives of the entity. It is important to bear in mind that to register for the 5th edition of the Fomeca contests it is mandatory that the entity has started the Fomeca Registration process, which is also carried out by the TAD platform.
Those interested can enter www.enacom.gob.ar/fomeca where they will find all the information about the different lines of promotion with their respective regulations; an instruction detailing step by step how to register; a dictionary of accounting, legal and communicational terms; and downloadable attachments to complete and then attach at the time of registration.
