From March 2013, the City of Zurich's cultural funding department will be switching to online applications in stages. Applications for funding will now be submitted via a central portal and processed electronically by the departments and specialist commissions.
The City of Zurich's Department of Culture receives around 1500 applications for funding every year, which are processed by the various departments. The entire application and processing process, from submission to decision, is now carried out electronically and online via the Internet.
The solution has been developed for Kultur Stadt Zürich together with the Zurich Organization and Information Technology (OIZ) and a private provider. As before, the content of the submissions will be assessed by a specialist commission external to the administration.
The individual cultural departments are switching to electronic applications in stages. Applications for funding must be submitted electronically and online from the following dates: Electronic music from March 1, 2013, jazz/rock/pop from March 15, 2013, visual arts from May 6, 2013, theater, dance and literature from July 1, 2013.
