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 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.
- 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 national music organisations.
- Professionals across all music genres who predominantly reside in Denmark can apply.
- 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
You cannot apply for support for:
- The same project from multiple national music organisations*
- Hotel stays.
- Per diem.
- Study abroad.

- Marketing and PR.
- Fees to attend seminars, courses or competitions.

Please note!
* You may not apply at multiple national music organisations for the same project. If you do then all applications will be rejected on the basis of duplicate applications.
**Operationally-supported organisations cannot apply. E.g. public institutions, organisations or ensembles, which have their operations supported, or similar, are not eligible to apply. If you are unsure whether or no you are operationally-supported then we recommend you to talk with your financial manager.
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.
- If this is your first time applying for the support you will need to create a new User profile, as you will not be able to access the system without one.
- It is only possible to create a User profile, enter the system and submit an application with NemID or MitID.
- 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.
- 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.
NB! If you meet the prerequisites, you can apply even if you live outside Denmark. If you are in doubt then please contact us.
- If you have applied before Feb. 15, 2023, then you need to report you travel expenses via Google Forms.
- 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.
- Reports can only be submitted via the reporting forms (only in Danish). We will not accept copy of documents and reports via email or the messaging function in the application system.
- Reports are processed every Thursday (except holidays).
NB! The support is paid out after the project has been completed and after we have received your report. Read more in the next section.
Report via Google Forms (only in Danish):
If you have applied before Feb. 15, 2023
- Only submit documents for international travel expenses attached as one single PDF file.
- The PDF must include an overview on the first page of all travel expenses in DKK including a total amount in DKK.
- If the the overview is not included, or if it is not adequate, you will most likely be asked to resend the report.
You need a Google account to be able to complete a report in Google Forms. This is not optimal and therefore we now have a reporting form integrated in the applicant’s User profile (read more below).
Report with User profile (only in Danish):
If you have applied after May 15, 2023
- The report form will be available after you have received your letter of commitment.
- Log into your User profile and click on the respective application.
- In the application’s menu you will find “Afrapportering”.
- Click on the pencil, follow the instructions, fill in the form and send the report.
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.
- 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.
- If local travel within Denmark, hotel stays, or other expenses that are not covered by the support are included into the total costs, those expenses will be deducted.
- It is a requirement that the support is only paid out via NemKonto.
- Payments are processed every Thursday (except holidays).
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 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
- 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.
“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.”
