The Production Costs grant welcomes applications from Koda members and from organizers in the music scene. The grant is open to projects within the art music genres– not only modern classical music, but also sound art, experimental electronic music, and related genres.

The grant can support production costs for new art music and sound art projects on the Danish and international music scenes and wider cultural scenes. You can apply to cover costs regarding concerts, festivals, book releases, presentation, and dissemination projects, etc. The Production Costs grant especially supports the field of art music – which includes acoustic chamber music, orchestral music, experimental electro-acoustic and electronica, music drama, multimedia works, sound art, church music, classical vocal music, and new experimental music for and with children and young people.

Applications for the Production Costs grants are accepted two times annually. The application deadlines are:

March 1st
September 1st

Applications will be evaluated by a committee. In 2025, the committee comprises:

Jonas Olesen (udvalgsleder)
Thomas Agergaard
Bo Lundby Jæger
Ingeborg Okkels (ekstern)

No payment can take place until you have submitted the final accounts for the project, as well as documentation demonstrating how you credited Koda Kultur.

This grant takes the form of a so-called deficit guarantee. This means that if the project generates enough income to cover its expenses, no funds will be paid out.

If you wish to make changes to how the funding is used, this requires permission from the committee that awarded the grant. Unless otherwise agreed, the grant will automatically lapse if the project applied for is not completed within one year.

Your reply will be no later than two months after the deadline.

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)
