Funding can be applied for projects in the following categories:

• Music releases. Support can be applied for expenses for the release of newly created music by the publisher's own authors, including recording, mixing and mastering (CD, vinyl and digital releases) as well as musician's fees, producer, studio rent. Reissues cannot be supported. NB! Please note that if the same publication has recieved support from the Release Pool, you can not apply for support in this category.  NB! There is a max. of 5 applications per round within this category.
  
  
• Sheet music releases. Support may be sought for the publication of the works of the music publisher's own authors in print, as well as songbooks in which own authors are included. It is primarily the music notation and proofreading that is supported and not the printing itself. Reissues cannot be supported.
  
  
• Travel scholarship and music export. You can apply for support for the publishers' and their authors' journeys to develop projects, e.g. publishing trips to sub-publishers or collaborators abroad, co-write trips, participation in songwriting camps and the like. Aid may only be granted for two sub-publishing trips per year and a max of 8 travelgrants a year.

There is a max. of 10 applications in total per round, however, sheet music release applications do not count. You can only apply 2 times for the same author per year, however, sheet music releases and Play Danish applications do not count.

In order to promote the arm's length principle and transparency of aid appropriations, the following requirements apply:

• A project cannot be supported if the aid applied for in whole or in part is used for the remuneration of employees in their own, consolidated or employees' companies, etc., without this in advance clearly stated in the application.

• It is not suitable to apply to two different publishers if they have the same CVR number or are affiliated under Danish company law.

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, The Up-and-Coming Grant 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:

• Create (idea, clarification, writing)
• Improve/develop (coaching, camps, education)
• Release (record, mix, master)
• 'Disseminate' (PR/marketing, concert production, fairs and exhibitions)

The publishing pool has three annual application deadlines:

February 1.

May 15.

October 1. 

The music publishers' appropriation committee is elected for two years. The Appropriations Committee currently consists of.

Laura Littauer
Sebastian Owens
Lewis Colston

You will receive an answer approximately 1 month after the application deadline.
