The Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach Visitor & Convention Center seeks applicants wishing to stage annual events in Charlotte County to attract overnight visitors.

Under the Charlotte County Tourism Event Development Program administered by the VCB, those chosen for the program will receive seed money to launch their event for the first two years, said county Tourism Director Sean Doherty. Seed money is up to $10,000 for each year for those chosen. The amount of each award is contingent upon the number of applications received, according to the VCB.

Applicants must present a regional marketing plan showing the potential to draw overnight visitors staying for county attractions.
