A competition for development and media awards in the field of integration in 2013 has been launched by the Integration and Migration Foundation Our People (MISA) in association with the Ministry of Culture.

“Development awards will be granted in three categories: in the first category, it is possible to apply for awards for projects and activities aimed at introducing or helping to preserve the cultures of the various ethnic groups living in Estonia. Two awards are granted in this category and each of them amounts to one thousand euros,” explained Kristi Anniste, Coordinator of the Civic Education and Migration Unit at MISA.

The deadline for the submission of applications is 13 May and they must be submitted in Estonian using the development or media award application form available on the MISA website. Application guidelines and conditions can be found here.

These development and media awards are financed from the state budget via the Ministry of Culture.
