Call for applications for Unterwaldner Werkbeiträge

The cultural commissions of Obwalden and Nidwalden are once again jointly announcing work grants this year. The competition has been held annually since 2014 and is aimed at artists in all cultural fields. Anyone who has lived in one of the two cantons for at least three years or has lived here for at least 10 years or whose work has an exceptionally close connection to Obwalden and/or Nidwalden is eligible to participate.

The work grants of CHF 20,000 and CHF 10,000 respectively are intended to directly support artists and cultural practitioners by enabling them to devote themselves intensively to their work for a certain period of time. They can focus on an artistic idea or deepen and develop their artistic skills in a targeted manner.

No grants are awarded for training courses or projects that are realized during basic training. The submission of literary texts and theater texts is also excluded, as these are funded via Central Switzerland competitions. Film projects can only be considered if they do not fall under the Central Switzerland Film Funding Regulations (IFFG).
