Cyprus extends application deadline for Nostos support scheme

The Deputy Ministry of Culture of Cyprus has officially extended the application deadline for the 'Nostos' support scheme, which is designed to provide assistance to occupied communities. The new deadline is set for September 30, 2026, at 14:00, with officials citing high public interest as the primary reason for the extension.

Applicants are required to submit their materials exclusively through the official digital platform at www.grants4arts.cy. For detailed information regarding eligibility and conditions, the ministry has directed interested parties to the government portal. Support channels have also been established to assist applicants: inquiries about the application content can be directed to ikoulafeti@culture.gov.cy or via telephone at 22 809859, available daily between 12:00 and 14:00. Those experiencing technical difficulties with the digital platform are advised to contact grants4arts@culture.gov.cy for assistance.

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to support cultural and community activities related to occupied regions. The government expects that the additional time will allow more citizens to participate in the program effectively.
