Working Grant (arbejdslegat)

The Working Grant supports the creation of new music within the genres of art music, including classical score music, audiovisual works, musical drama, electronica, game and film music, sound art and improvisation. The grant provides support for a compositional work process or an artistic process that applicants wish to initiate, explore and develop. The work grant is designed for composers and sound artists who want to immerse themselves in compositional work and who work experimentally and boundary-pushing with music and sound driven by artistic curiosity. Grants are available on varying scales: large working grants of DKK 50,000 or DKK 75,000, and small working grants from DKK 10,000 to DKK 40,000. The grant does not support commission fees or recording/release projects, which have separate grant programs. Recipients cannot receive other working grants while they have an open application pending.
