Multiple Event Funding

If applying for multiple event funding in the same year, then Judges are to provide evidence to Gymnastics WA of additional band contributions in the year prior, as well as significant contributions in the last five years. If the judge has already received funding for Australian Championships, the second event can be an international event or National Clubs Carnival. Anything over two events will be special consideration only.
