Applications will not be processed from 15 June to 6 August and from 16 December to 7 January, including holidays & public holidays. There will therefore be a longer processing time during this period.

When you receive our confirming that you may stay in the relevant house for a given period, the details cannot be changed – this includes the dates of your stay. If changes occur to your project or you become unable to travel during the period assigned, your work residency and grant will cenceled.
When you are given the grant, the actual grant portion will be paid when you submit the relevant documentation (receipts, contract, invoice etc.) (the grant does not cover daily allowances).
You can expect a reply to your application within three weeks.
You cannot receive support for the same project from several pools under Koda Culture. This applies according to 6.D in our regulation. Find the regulation here.
This means that if you for example apply for publication, you can only receive support once for your publishing project. You cannot receive support for publication from both The Publishing pool and The Recording/Release Grant at the same time. On the other hand, you will be able to receive support for other processes of the same project from other pools. For example, if you have received support for the recording/release part of your project, you can apply for support for the next phase of your project, e.g. for promoting your release or from the PR pools.
We have pools that support the different processes that your project can go through. The processes can – from an overall point of view – be divided into:
