Organisers and Vendors Submission
Last updated 13 April 2026

Getting Your Performance Approved

Organisers and performing arts groups are strongly advised to send performance information as early as possible so it can be made available on the MLLPC website for schools and institutions. This allows sufficient time for schools to plan student attendance.

Performance Eligibility Criteria

Your performance must meet these requirements:

  • Cultural and theatrical performances performed in Malay language

  • Performed locally in Singapore

  • Ticket prices below $50 (for primary/secondary students) or below $70 (for post-secondary/tertiary students)

  • Non-local artistes may be involved as long as the performance is performed locally and meets CPEF criteria

Submission Process

Submit your performance details to MLLPC Secretariat as early as possible for inclusion in the approved programmes list. Schools will reference this list when planning their bookings.

Working with Schools

Once your performance is approved:

  • Schools will contact you directly to confirm bookings

  • You will bill schools/institutions directly

  • Schools process payment through their downloaded CPEF funds

  • Required documents from schools: booking form, confirmed attendance list, invoice

Optimal Scheduling Guidelines

For mainstream schools, junior colleges and centralised institutes:

  • Best periods: Term 1 and Term 2

  • Avoid: Term 3 and Term 4 (due to national examinations)

  • Post-exam periods: Usually weeks 9-10 of Term 4

For primary schools:

  • Avoid weekends and night shows (requires additional administrative arrangements)

  • Schedule during school terms for easier logistics

For post-secondary institutions:

  • Check individual academic calendars

  • Refer to www.moe.gov.sg for updated school term information

Additional Funding Opportunities

You may also apply for MLLPC's Supported Programme Funding for performance production through the online application system at www.mllpc.sg. Applications are reviewed by the MLLPC Budget Committee, and non-profit organisations meeting MLLPC objectives will be considered subject to funding guidelines.

Important: When a performance is funded by MLLPC, you must declare income from ticket sales. MLLPC considers both expenditure incurred and income received when reviewing claims.
