  • Which do not take place in Zoetermeer or are not intended for Zoetermeer residents.
  • Which are contrary to law, public interest or public order.
  • Who proclaim a political, religious or philosophical message.
  • Which do not meet eligibility rules.
  • Where there is no reasonable relationship between the amount requested and the planned activities.
