Parade Subsidies

Creative Ideas Award

Need some help making your parade entry even more fabulous?  More interactive? More green?  The VPS is offering ten awards of  $300 toward realizing your creative ideas for your parade entry.

Eligibility is limited to registered not for profit Societies or non-profit groups. The award is not for registration fees, vehicle, generator or sound system rentals. The award will be paid after the Parade once we receive documentation from you (pictures, descriptions, video) of how the Creative Ideas Award helped you upgrade your entry. Remember, the more you send us, the more exposure your group will get on our website!

To request a Creative Ideas Award, please print and fill out the application and include with your Parade Application.
