Travel Support

Tilskud til international transport

As an actor working within the music genres covered by Art Music Denmark, you are eligible to apply for the international travel support called ‘Tilskud til international transport’. The support covers travel expenses from Denmark to international locations, from international locations to Denmark, as well as local transport costs while abroad in connection with activities which promote Danish music and art within our music genres.

The other Danish national music organisations; JazzDanmark, ROSA and Tempi also each have their own pool for ‘Tilskud til international transport’, where actors within their genres can apply. To apply with us, you must be an actor within contemporary music, classical or sound art.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • If you have applied at and after the deadline May 15, 2023, then you need to report via the form, which is found in your application in your User profile.

Commitment and payment
  • 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.

  • When paying out support, the granted amount will be regulated in relation to the actual transport costs within the granted amount – i.e. you will only be paid what you have actually spent, and never more than the original granted amount.

Please note!

Crediting Art Music Denmark

08
Declined applications
  • If your project is not granted support, you will receive a rejection 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 national music organisations (e.g. Art Music Denmark and Tempi) for the same project. Such applications will be rejected on the basis of duplicate applications.

  • Misplaced application:
    If your application is declined on the grounds that it is misplaced and therefore belongs to another national music organisation, you will be told in your rejection letter which other organisation the committee thinks you belong to.
    Art Music Denmark will make the other organisation aware of your application. But it is your own responsibility to apply to them again, after which it will be treated on an equal footing with all other applications after the next deadline. We recommend that you enter into dialogue with the respective organisation after you have received your rejection letter from us.

    If you are in doubt which national music organisation you and your project belong to, please contact us: Email: transport@artmusicdenmark.org / Phone: +45 61697076

The other Danish national music organisations

JazzDanmark: Jazz and related genres
ROSA: pop, rock, electronica and related genres
Tempi: roots, folk and world music

09
Significant changes and postponement
  • In effect, you will need to carry out and complete the project as described in your application. If you want to postpone or make significant changes to the project, it must be approved by Art Music Denmark first.

  • As a rule, a project must be completed within 2 years from the grant date. After this, the support automatically ceases.

  • 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 want to postpone or make changes to the project, you must contact us at transport@artmusicdenmark.org. It will then be assessed whether the changes can be approved.

    NB! Remember to enter your journal number in the subject line when contacting us via email.
