ENTER is the Nordic Culture Fund’s programme for ambitious ideas which, in collaboration with others, can open up new perspectives and set new things in motion. The programme aims to offer space to experiment, learn as you go along and to test new directions, without necessarily knowing the concrete outcome.
ENTER stems from the ambition to bring arts and culture into play as a driving force that opens new perspectives, challenges established ways of thinking and contributes to shaping the future of the Nordic region. ENTER therefore offers the opportunity to explore an idea, method or way of working before its form, outcome or next step is entirely clear.
The Nordic Culture Fund is looking for initiatives that can apply and bring together different experiences, geographies and practices, and which have the courage to challenge established ways of working.
The initiative must have a Nordic anchoring and be built on collaboration across borders. Applications can only be for activities that take place after the funding decision from the Nordic Culture Fund has been received. The initiative must be completed and reported on no later than one year after the stated start date.
Both individuals and organisations can apply. Participants from outside the Nordic region can take part; what matters is not where participants come from or are based, but whether the initiative has a clear and meaningful relationship to the Nordic region.
Applicants can apply for up to 50 000 DKK, and there is no requirement for co-funding. The grant can be used for relevant costs related to delivering the initiative, including travel.
