The Cultural Council of The Netherlands advised the Dutch Government to cut the financial support to Noorderlicht after 2012. For Noorderlicht the consequences would be nothing less than disastrous, because it would de facto implie that its total budget would be cut by 50%.  However, the Secretary of State for Culture, wrote us that he intends to grant €200,000 to Noorderlicht. Good news, although this still means a cutback of 30%.

We thank everyone who has supported us so far, but we can still use your support to!
