THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ (NCCA), the overall policy making body, coordinating, and grants giving agency for the preservation, development and promotion of Philippine arts and culture, is now accepting proposals for the 2023 Competitive Grants until August 31, 2022.

Section 12 of Republic Act 7356 [NCCA Charter] authorizes the commission to give grants to artists and cultural groups which contribute significantly to the Filipino cultural legacy as means to extend artistic achievement.

Further, Section 13 of the same law mandates the commission to administer the National Endowment Fund for Culture and the Arts (Nefca) and give grants for the development, protection, preservation and dissemination of Philippine culture and arts.

The NCCA Competitive Grants Program is competitive in nature since the approval of project proposals passes through a rigorous and confidential evaluation process based on merit such as quality and relevance to Commission priorities.

The projects are categorized per Subcommissions — Subcommission on the Arts (SCA); Subcommission on Cultural and Traditional Arts (SCCTA); Subcommission on Cultural Dissemination (SCD); and Subcommission on Cultural Heritage (SCH).
