The call for applications to the Bealtaine Hero Award is open to local, community based groups (or individuals) who wish to submit proposals for an event that offers an ambitious, creative and experimental invitation to their community this May, and that celebrates the spirit of the festival.

All art forms and event types will be considered, however non-arts events will not be considered (please see guidelines for examples of arts and non-arts events). Two awards of €500 will be made to the two successful applicants. The deadline is 5pm, Friday February 19th 2024.
