- It is possible to submit more than one application for the same deadline.
Travel via car
- If you are travelling in your own car, you can cover international travel expenses via a governmental low-tariff rate which applies to international travel. The tariff includes fuel and other car-related expenses.
Read about the tariff and transport allowance for international travel in a private car here. (NB – in Danish). The tariff rates for 2022 can be found here. - When travelling in a rented car, rental receipts, documentation of the rental period and fuel vouchers must be reported – read more about reporting expenses further down the page.
Den Nationale Transportstøtteordning
You can apply for support for local travel expenses within Denmark via ‘Den Nationale Transportstøtteordning‘, which is administered by JazzDanmark (in agreement with the Danish Arts Foundation) on behalf of the four genre organisations.
Professionals across all music genres who predominantly reside in Denmark are eligible to apply.
NB! All enquiries regarding the scheme should be directed to JazzDenmark.
You cannot apply for support covering local travel within Denmark; e.g. to and from the airport, a Danish tour etc. This can only be applied via ‘Den Nationale Transportstøtteordning‘. Read more here

The following criteria is used to assess applications:
- Development opportunities either for the applicant and/or Danish music sector.
- Artistic quality.
- A touring company will be prioritised over a single concert.
- Innovative elements in projects or formats.
- Strategic value for the applicant’s career.
- Demonstrable local demand for the project.
- Emphasis is placed on a sensible budget with a realistic balance between expenses and earnings. Fees in connection with touring activities internationally are not expected to be lower than local musician fees for similar concerts.
- A plan to generate maximum value from the allocated funding: for example, arranging workshops or meetings with relevant collaboration partners with international projects, or when international soloists visit Denmark.
Link to the application form (only in Danish):
- It is a requirement of the support that only people or institutions with a Danish CPR or CVR number, NemID or MitID, as well as NemKonto are eligible to apply.
- If this is your first time applying for the support you will need to create a new profile, as you will not be able to access the system without one.
- It is only possible to create a profile, enter the system and submit an application with NemID or MitID.
- You can expect a written response at the latest four weeks after the application deadline.
- Details about the outcome of an application are exclusively delivered in written form – not via phone.
- An application must be submitted before the project or tour launches. The project may have started before the deadline, as long as the application is submitted before the launch.
- You are not able to apply for support from multiple music genre organisations for the same project. Such applications will be rejected on the basis of duplicate applications.
The other Danish music genre organisations
- JazzDanmark: Jazz and related genres

- Tempi: roots, folk and world music
Images of the application form
Link to the reporting form (only in Danish):
- Expense reports can only be submitted via the reporting form – we will not accept documents and reports through email or the messaging function in the application system (GrantOne).
- Only submit documents for travel expenses.
- All documents must be attached as a single PDF file.
- It is a must that the PDF includes an overview of all travel expenses in Danish kroners including a total amount in Danish kroners. The overview has to be the first page of the PDF. If the page is not included you will most likely be asked to resend the report.
- The support is paid out after the completion of the project and once you have submitted an expense report and copy of all travel expenses to Art Music Denmark at the latest one month after the project’s completion.
- Reports are processed every Thursday.
Please note!
The reporting form is via Google Sheets – meaning you need a Google account to be able to complete it. We are aware that this is not an optimal solution and are working on a new model, which we are striving to launch in early 2023.
Tilsagn / afslag
- If your project is granted support, you will receive a letter of commitment.
- The support is paid out after the completion of the project and once you have submitted an expense report and copy of all travel expenses to Art Music Denmark at the latest one month after the project’s completion.
- The granted support amount will be adjusted relative to the ultimate and actual travel expenses covered by the grant. For example:
- If your actual expenses were ultimately lower than the amount of support you were granted, you will only be paid for what you spent.
- If your expenses exceed the granted amount, your support payment will not exceed the granted amount.
- If local travel within Denmark, hotel stays, or other expenses that are not covered by the support are integrated into the total costs, those expenses will be deducted.
- It is a condition of the grant that it is only paid via NemKonto.
- Payments are processed every Thursday.
Please note!
Crediting Art Music Denmark
Art Music Denmark must be credited when a funded project is published and presented to the media, public and other stakeholders.
Read more about crediting here.
Tilsagn / afslag
- If your project is not granted support, you will receive a letter confirming your declined application.
- We receive so many submissions with every application round, that the total funds applied for exceeds the funding pool earmarked by the Danish Arts Foundation for the support. We are therefore unable to approve every application.
- Duplicate applications:
You are not able to apply for support from multiple music genre organisations (e.g. Art Music Denmark and Tempi) for the same project. Such applications will be rejected on the basis of duplicate applications. - Incorrectly submitted application:
If your application is declined on the basis that it was incorrectly submitted to Art Music Denmark instead of another music genre organisation, Art Music Denmark will enter into a dialogue with the applicant and recommend sending the original application onwards to processing by the correct music genre organisation or the Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Music Project Funding.
The other Danish music genre organisations
JazzDanmark: Jazz and related genres
ROSA: pop, rock, electronica and related genres
Tempi: roots, folk and world music
- In effect, you will need to carry out and complete the project you described in your application. If there are significant changes to the project, it must be approved in advance.
- Significant changes could include major changes to your submitted budget, changing key participants, delaying the start or finish date of a project (i.e. due to COVID) or if personal reasons preclude you from completing the project as planned.
- If you experience changes in your project, please contact the Travel Support Manager, Thinh Duc Tran: transport@artmusicdenmark.org.
Remember to enter your journal number in the subject line when contacting us.
NB! Changes will be evaluated by Art Music Denmark’s Music Committee.

“The international travel subsidy made an extraordinary thing possible: to be able to invite the composer Kaija Saariaho and participating musicians from all across Europe to participate in the 2021 festival’s overarching venture. This created an even bigger impact nationally and internationally for an already renowned festival.”
