Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I can apply for the creative voucher?

In order to meet the criteria for applicants for the creative voucher, your company must have its registered office or establishment in the so-called problem region of the Pardubice Region according to the list given in the grant call in the chapter “project localization”.

The applicant must also fall into the category of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The full wording of the conditions can be found in the grant call HERE.

What can the creative voucher be used for?

The creative voucher can be used for such cooperation with a selected creative (from the database of creatives), which will lead to the improvement of the presentation or innovation of products, services or relationships between your clients or customers. However, the voucher cannot be used to train employees, purchase a finished work of art, carry out translations, teambuilding, purchase media space or interior equipment, or to improve the business environment towards employees.

How to apply for the creative voucher?

The following 4 steps lead to the correct application for the creative voucher:

The applicant selects the service srovider from the Creator Database section on the paradnikraj.cz website.
The applicant shall request an offer from the service provider.
The applicant is obliged to use the opportunity to consult with one of the contact persons listed in the Additional Information section. The consultation must take place no later than 7 working days before the request is received. For this consultation, the applicant is obliged to send electronically in advance the documents containing the working version of the completed application form.
The complete application for the creative voucher is submitted by the applicant using the appropriate form within the creative voucher sub-program.

What can I get from this?

If the project is successful, it is possible to obtain up to 80 % of the total project costs, up to a maximum of CZK 70,000. By involving a professional creative, you will also increase the added value of your service or product and thus gain competitive advantage.

What if I apply but don’t get a voucher?

That can happen. In this case, you can wait for the announcement of another grant call and re-apply for the prepared project. However, we recommend that you consider whether it is worthwhile to implement the project from your own resources. At this point, you will see the potential benefits of such collaboration, so consider whether to use the collaboration with the creative.
