Counted from the 1,583 open calls in the CallOpen catalogue, each checked against the organiser’s own page.
Why most deadlines are near
A call is usually announced weeks or a few months before it closes, so whatever is open at a given moment closes soon. Calls for next year’s residencies and grants open in the months before; follow the organisers you care about, not only the lists.
The months ahead
The table counts the open calls by the month of their deadline. Each month has its own page with every call closing in it.
Plan backwards
Start from the deadline and count back: time to read the rules, to choose the work, to write, to ask for references, to prepare the files. Two weeks is tight for a grant; a competition with finished work can take an evening.
Rolling calls
Some calls have no deadline: they take applications until the places are filled, or all year. Open on a rolling basis now: 90. Apply early — late in a rolling round there may be no places left.
Time zones
A deadline is in the organiser’s time zone unless the call says otherwise. If you live ahead of them, you have more time; behind them, less. After free sign-in, the CallOpen tracker reminds you before each deadline of the calls you saved.
