Magazine Publishers Market Fund
About the Program
This program provides financial support for B.C. magazine publishers to attend select magazine fairs, conferences and events for the purpose of promoting their publication(s) in both foreign and domestic markets, expanding business opportunities and professional development as well as supporting the development of marketing materials and/or campaigns. Companies will be allotted up to $5K per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31), for activities that meet the standards and program objectives and deemed eligible by Creative BC. Applications will be evaluated on a first come, first served basis until the budget has been fully committed for the fiscal year.
On a case-by-case basis, companies may also attend events related to the content their magazine offers.
The 2025/26 Magazine Publishers Market Fund is now closed. The 2026/27 round of funding will reopen on April 1, 2026.
Applications will be evaluated on a first come, first served basis.
