Only a maximum of four files can be uploaded in the online procedure (confirmation of the performance venue, the project description, short biographies and calculation)
If you would like to add further information to the application, this is only possible in the project description.

No; once your application has been submitted, it can no longer be amended. We therefore recommend that you always attach a separate calculation to the application, in particular to avoid errors in the calculation of the amount of funding applied for.
In the event of a positive funding decision, changes are possible during the realisation of the project. These must be reported to the cultural department.

Yes; the maximum funding amount for debut funding is up to 20,000 euros per application.
Please note that when applying for individual project or debut funding, all planned expenditure and income must be entered in the online system. The amount of funding applied for will be calculated automatically based on the information you provide.

In principle, all expenditure that can be proven to be project-related can be recognised. This also includes expenses for maintaining the infrastructure, such as rental expenses for a permanently rented office, studio or warehouse, although these expenses can only be recognised on a pro rata basis (project reference must be recognisable).

Technical purchases can also be financed from the grant and must be listed in detail in the application.

General living expenses may not be financed from the grant. Also, no imputed costs (e.g. own rooms, fictitious rents, depreciation) and expenses for which there is no legal obligation (e.g. tips, gifts, etc.) may be recognised.

When reviewing the applications, the expert jury will ensure that the artists are remunerated appropriately. We therefore ask you to take into account the lower fee limits recommended by the Federal Association of Independent Performing Arts in your application.

The calculation should show income that is as realistic as possible. Third-party funds that are planned but not yet applied for and approved can be named in the separate calculation. Please indicate which grants and third-party funds are planned, from which organisations they come and whether the funds have been applied for or already approved (= written confirmation).

If the calculation includes third-party funds for which no written confirmation has yet been received, these must be labelled "applied for". The project description must show how the shortfall will be made up or how the project realisation will change if the third-party funding is rejected.

Own funds are own financial contributions, i.e. funds that are securely available for the project. The use of own funds is not a prerequisite for submitting an application; however, own funds included in the application must be prioritised for funding.

Services provided free of charge (e.g. free services in kind, free provision of space and technology, etc.) do not constitute own funds, as there is no cash flow. These services may not be included in the calculation. You can present these services in the project description and - as far as possible - evaluate them in terms of time and money.
