Funding for Contemporary Music Creators — Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft

Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft

October 15, 2026 (23 publicSeo.openCall.daysLeft)Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft is the city's own agency for the creative industries, and this is its dedicated line for contemporary music — project funding rather than a prize, aimed at the commercial side of a music practice that other arts funding tends to ignore. The amount is set per project, and the twice-yearly rhythm means a missed round is six months away rather than a year.
