Nordic Culture Fund to support Art and Culture Projects

Deadline: 1 September 2023

You can apply for Project Funding for projects that build on and develop collaborations across the Nordic Region.

The projects must be anchored in relevant environments and have committed partners. The focus is on the Nordic players, but the stage is global. It is not a condition that you must live in the Nordic countries or have a Nordic nationality to apply, but the project must be relevant to Nordic latitudes.

They work with an open and inquisitive approach to the Nordic, and are interested in everything that is under development. Applicants are therefore invited to share with the Fund their perspectives and approaches to the meaning of the Nordic, and to describe how the project in question can contribute to creating meaningful connections and links in the Nordic Region.

Grant Information

  • You can apply for a maximum amount of DKK 500,000, but it is a good idea to obtain an idea of the typical size of the Nordic Culture Fund’s grants before applying. The project must have at least 50% co-financing.
  • Project Period: The project period may run for a maximum period of the year in which the grant is provided and the two subsequent calendar years.

What do they support?

  • The fund supports risk-taking, and they often support the establishment and development phases of new artistic and cultural initiatives and networks.
  • Funding can also be awarded to projects that build upon previous networking or a previously completed project, provided they involve clear development and innovation of the existing projects, and the fund support can be seen to have clear relevance.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Cultural players, artists, public and private organisations, associations, etc., regardless of nationality, can apply for project funding.
  • Emphasis is placed on the originality of the projects and on cross-border collaborations in the Nordic countries, but they also welcome projects that extend beyond the Nordic region in various ways.

Assesment Criteria

  • Applications are assessed under three main criteria, taking into account the project’s own context:
    • Artistic/cultural content and ambitions
      • The Fund assesses the artistic and/or cultural ambitions of the project and its content, methods and implementation plan. Emphasis is placed on innovation and development, including in relation to any previous projects.
    • Nordic relevance and collaboration in the project
      • The Fund assesses the anchoring of the project in relevant actors across the Nordic Region and the Nordic cooperation in the project: the project’s significance for the partners involved, and their commitment to it.
      • The Fund assesses the project’s exploration of various aspects of the Nordic and its impact on the development of the arts and cultural life within the scope of the project. The Nordic dimension must have greater importance in the project than just cooperation between two Nordic countries: the project must as a minimum have a broader Nordic content or target audience.
    • Relevant and realistic project economy
      • The Fund assesses the extent to which the budget is realistic and well worked out in relation to the content of the project, and the extent to which the collaborative and Nordic ambitions are reflected in the budget.
      • It is a requirement that at least 50% of the budget must come from sources other than the Fund. In total, the project’s income may consist of a maximum of 85% funding from the official Nordic co-operation (e.g. the Nordic Culture Fund and Nordic Culture Point).

Ineligible

  • Notice Project Funding does not provide support for:
    • Projects that do not have a clear link to the artistic/cultural field, such as sports events.
    • Individual projects, working scholarships, education and study visits.
    • The participation of individuals or groups in events. Only the planners/organisers of such events may seek support for this.
    • Tours and travelling exhibitions, unless these are part of another substantial Nordic co-operation.
    • Operating costs, the basic financing of organisations, and the construction and procurement of technical equipment for operational use.
    • Publishing and production, if this is the primary purpose of the project, e.g. music releases, film and TV production, video game production, web solutions, book publishing and translation.
