Who is eligible
to apply?
The NPN Coproduction Fund for Dance requires that at least one coproduction partner from one German federal state cooperates with another coproducer from another German federal state or foreign country. At least one of the two must be a performance venue, production venue, festival, etc. A third or additional coproducers are not absolutely required to attain NPN Coproduction Fund for Dance support, but they do increase the chances of approval.
The applicant is the producer who is realizing the production. The company/ artist can also submit an application, if it or he contributes financial means of production (e.g., other public funds, sponsoring) and thus takes on the role of producer.
Regardless of the company or artist's origin, the production must have been mostly realized in Germany, and the applicant must reside in Germany. Rehearsals and residencies in foreign countries are possible.
Subsidy
limits
There is no standard for the budget level. Most subsidies occur in the framework of 10.000,- to 50.000,- EUR, but at a maximum of 50% of the total costs.

NPN credit
statement
The credit statement, with both logos (NPN & BKM), must be placed at a visible location and sized so as to be easily legible. The correct listing in all publications (print and online) is an indispensable requirement for support and a part of the support contract. Abbreviations of this statement are not permitted! The credit statement and the logos must both always be listed.
Criteria
for allocation
A five-member expert jury from the field of dance makes the subsidy decisions. The expected quality of the production and a national and international relevance of the company's/artist's work are important criteria for the jury's decisions. Each project and coproduction is unique. In order to acknowledge this, the NPN Coproduction Fund for Dance is as open as possible in its guidelines.
