Interested individuals must submit their application by March 31, 2026, via email in a standardized PDF format. Required are a detailed résumé including education and previous engagements, evidence of artistic activity (e.g., audio samples, photo portfolios, websites), as well as optional creative program proposals.

Through this initiative, the Foundation aims to increase visibility for both emerging talents and established acts and to introduce new impulses in the field of culture & media.
