Quebecor Fund’s contribution to admissible projects will take the form of a non reimbursable financial contribution and will constitute a supplement to the rights paid for broadcasting on the Internet and to the rights paid by a PU in order to broadcast the production. The maximum contribution by Quebecor Fund for each admissible project will be $500 000, notwithstanding the following.

The rights paid by a PU for the broadcasting of a given production will have to be equivalent to at least 15% of the total budget of the project, including, inter alia, the budget for the television program aspect and the budget for the interactive multimedia aspect using namely platforms such as ITV, VOD and/or mobile terminals, and necessarily high speed Internet (hereafter collectively referred to as the “combined budget”). In the case of a PU that, given the conditions of its licence, is not mainly financed by a government or via subscription revenues or via revenue generated through the sale of advertising, Quebecor Fund will accept that the broadcasting fee be a symbolic sum of one dollar.

The contribution by Quebecor Fund will not exceed 35% of the combined budget.

However, when this project is broadcast by a PU that, given the conditions of its licence, is not mainly financed by a government or via subscription revenues or via revenue generated through the sale of advertising, Quebecor Fund’s contribution may be as much as 50% of the combined budget.
