To support young, up and coming party organisers and bar/club owners, rum brand Havana Club have launched a new initiative!
Titled Party Makers, this new initiative is dedicated to providing emerging party organisers, young festival organisers and new venue owners with the tools needed to succeed on their journeys.
9 regional winners will each receive a €5,000 grant to invest in their business, before being flown to Havana next year for the grand final where one overall global winner will be awarded an additional €15,000.
The successful applicants will also benefit from an exclusive mentoring experience with one of the Party Makers judges.
Among the judges are Places + Faces’ Ciesay, Metallic Inc’s Grace Ladoja and radio DJ and presenter Tiffany Calver. The panel of judges will also organise workshops and mentor the nine lucky regional winners.
“Overnight, the pandemic put an end to live events and parties, with it taking an essential revenue source for those working across the event, festival and nightlife industries which have long been the driving force behind Havana Club,” Anne Martin, Global Marketing Director at Havana Club International, said.
“As the world begins to reopen, we’re committed to supporting up-and-coming entrepreneurs and venues to bring people together once again,” explains Anne Martin, Global Marketing Director at Havana Club International.”
Applications are now open until November 30th, where candidates will be asked to outline their vision and their challenges, explaining how the prize money will take their business to another level and bring their vision to life.
Finalists will be shortlisted from three regions including EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Asia Pacific and the Americas (Canada, South and Central America).
