The grant is open to artists, songwriters, producers, composers, and lyricists who are members of Koda. The grant is aimed at the professional and market-oriented field.   

Here you can apply for content production and payment for initiatives that help market your music. 

 For example, you can apply for content production, advertising, radio and playlist plugging, or other promotional work. You can also apply for support tours, but not for your own concerts.   

If you have a completely different idea of how your music should be marketed, you are also welcome to apply for that. Just be sure to tell us how your initiative can help connect your music with the right audience. 

You cannot apply for the production and release of your music, including the reproduction of vinyl records, for example.   

You must fill in the following in the application form:

Deadline for the PR and Promotion Grant in 2026 are. 

29th January 2026
30th April 2026
29th September 2026

Applications for the PR and Promotion grant are assessed by the DPA Market committee. In 2025, the committee comprises of:

Committee 1:

Nabiha Bensouda
Asger Møller
Simone Tang

Committee 2:

Mette Kathrine Mortensen

Lonnie Kjer

As a rule, grants of between DKK 5,000 and DKK 20,000 are awarded. 

The grant is valid for one year from the date of approval. If your project is not completed within one year, you can request an extension. Such an extension may not exceed one year from the date of the request.  

Approval means that the grant will be paid out when documentation (receipts, agreements, invoices, etc.) is available (the grant does not cover allowances).   

You will receive a response approximately two months after the application deadline. If there are a particularly large number of applications, the response time may be longer. 

You cannot receive funding for the same project from multiple grant schemes under Koda Culture. This is in accordance with our regulations, section 6.D. You can find the regulation here.

This means that, for example, if you apply for funding for a release, you can only receive support once for your release project. In other words, you cannot receive funding for a release from both the Release Fund and the Publisher Fund. However, you may receive support for other phases of the same project from other funds. For instance, if you have received funding for the release, you may apply for support for the next phase of your project, such as marketing the release, from the PR funds.

An exception to these rules is the Potential Funds, which are not part of the Cultural Funds.

We have funds that support the various phases your project may go through. These phases can – from an overall perspective – be divided into:

• Create (idea, clarification, writing)
• Improve/Develop (coaching, camps, education)
• Release (recording, mixing, mastering)
• Disseminate (PR/marketing, concert production, trade fairs and exhibitions)
