Registration deadline for "Get going!" is running
The Fondation Suisa is stepping up its commitment to promoting music in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein: four musical projects are to be launched every year under the title "Get Going!" and a major work contribution is to be awarded every two years with "Carte Blanche".
As the Fondation Suisa writes on its website, musicians should now receive grants to enable them to work, develop and evolve without financial pressure. The focus is not necessarily on the result of the work on a particular piece, but rather the contribution should be a stimulus for something new. In this way, the foundation is moving away from the usual award criteria and looking to the future.
"Get Going!"
While an expert jury awards a contribution of 80,000 francs every two years as part of the "Carte Blanche" project without a call for applications, applications can be submitted for "Get Going!". The Fondation Suisa awards four grants of CHF 25,000 each per year. The award is aimed at authors, writers and musicians who can demonstrate a clear connection to current Swiss or Liechtenstein music creation.
This year, the application deadline is August 31. You can only apply online:
