Three-year funding for children's and youth theatre

It is not possible to apply for several calls for proposals at the same time with the same project.
You can apply for other calls for proposals in parallel (e.g. for production funding 2023 or for a scholarship 2023) if you submit a separate concept for funding for each call. Please note, however, that you may have to be able to realistically realise all projects.

Yes, an applicant can also submit an application as a member of an initiative, for example, or work on a project for which another organisation is applying for funding.

No. The project must be designed for three years and can include various modules (e.g. in the first year, creation of marketing materials such as films and photos, in the second year, improvement of acquisition opportunities and in the third year, research and training).

Yes, the annual application amounts must be identical. The maximum funding amount per year is 10,000 euros.
The following then applies during implementation: In the event of a commitment, the funding amounts per financial year are fixed. This means that they cannot be postponed.

The funding is paid out per calendar year. A detailed annual concept including a calculation must be submitted in the previous year. Proof of utilisation must be submitted at the end of each funding year.

Three-year funding is project funding and therefore ends after three years. Therefore, please make sure that your project can be completed after three years.

You can find the funding decision for 2020 to 2023 (pilot phase) in the Council information system at https://risi.muenchen.de/risi/sitzungsvorlage/detail/5614467
The evaluation after two years showed that most of the projects have been successfully implemented as planned, although some modules had to be modified due to the pandemic.

As a general rule, please do not state flat rates, but hourly/daily rates and specify the service/activity. For example, fees for the (own) project management, for the creation and professionalisation of advertising materials such as production photos, production trailers, flyers about the company and its plays; also for project-related rental of rehearsal rooms, technical investments as well as travel and participation fees for networking and further training projects are eligible for funding. Permanent expenses such as basic fees and living expenses are not eligible for funding, nor are expenses for the promotion of specific performances.

The Munich City Council decides on funding on the basis of recommendations from the Children's and Youth Theatre Jury. The jury is made up of city council members and expert jurors from the field of children's and youth theatre.

Children's and youth theatre jury for the funding years 2022 to 2024:
Antigone Akgün, Antonia Brix, Jessica Glause, Rudolf Herfurtner, Christian Schönfelder, Dr Ulrike Wörner von Faßmann and alternates Jürgen Decke, Gundula Hölty, Sabine Leucht and Kassandra Wedel; also the city council representatives: Councillor Marion Lüttig (Green Party - Rosa Liste group), Councillor Dr Florian Roth (Green Party - Rosa Liste group), Councillor Beatrix Burkhardt (CSU with FREIE WÄHLER group), Councillor Kathrin Abele (SPD/Volt group), Councillor Tobias Ruff (ÖDP/Munich List group).

Your project cannot be realised as described in the application? If there are any major changes during the realisation of the project, please let us know by e-mail.
The funds do not have to be repaid if they are used for the intended purpose. However, the funding will be cancelled if the information provided was not truthful and the funding was therefore awarded incorrectly. Funds may also be reclaimed if no final report is submitted or the project is not realised. The funds must then be repaid immediately in full, including interest.
