Support

Supporting the Luxembourgish cultural and creative sector is central to the mission of Kultur | lx.

In a continuous dialogue with the sector, Kultur | lx has put in place the tools required to best support creators and organisations at home and abroad. There are three core goals central to our mission : Career Development, Touring, and Promotion. The allocation of support must fit within the general objectives and specific criteria. It is important to familiarise yourself with our GUIDELINES before submitting an application for funding or before responding to a call. In addition to the general objectives, more specific criteria may be set out in each application related to the grant or support. These criteria should be given careful consideration.

WARNING: CHANGES IN 2023!
Following Kultur | lx’s change of status to a public institution and after 18 months of processing applications for support and discussions with applicants, we have made a few changes to both the titles of the grants as well as to how certain costs are covered.

These include :

• Support for Participation in Fairs becomes Support for exhibitors attending trade fairs and trade shows;
• Tour Support becomes Support for touring and dissemination of work;
• Support for mobility, research and career development becomes Support for prospecting, research and career development
• Publishing support and translation support have three submission dates per year.

A major change is that the different deadlines for each type of support have been removed and replaced by a monthly deadline for submitting applications. Please note that there will remain certain deadlines to be met according to the processing time required for the application.

Principles :

The deadlines for submission of projects for the year 2023 are set as follows:

• 19 March 2023
• 23 April 2023
• 21 May 2023
• 25 June 2023
• 23 July 2023
• 27 August 2023
• 01 October 2023
• 29 October 2023
• 03 December 2023

The internal and selection committees have a period of three weeks to decide on the application from the deadline for submission (see deadlines above). The submitted project may not start before the end of the deadline for response.

Example :
Submission on 19 March. Response by 9 April. Project cannot start before 10 April.
Submission on 23 April. Response by 14 May. Project cannot start before 15 May.

Please note: 
An application submitted between 20 March (i.e. after the 19 March deadline) and 23 April will be processed with the 23 April submission, so the project cannot start before 15 May, as in the above example.
