A Registry of persons engaged in the Entertainment Industry was first conceived within the National Cultural Policy of 2003.   The National Registry of Entertainment and Creative Practitioners is the primary means by which individuals and companies seeking and receiving benefits under the Fiscal Incentives Act are publicly recorded.   The Registry includes persons from all creative sectors covered by the Act including music, film, literary arts, visual and performing arts, new and digital media and animation.  Registrants are deemed to be Recognised Entertainment Producers.
