The deadline for project applications for 2016 has expired. Project applications for 2017 have to be received by 31 March 2016, at the latest.

The Criteria
The Allianz Cultural Foundation primarily addresses exceptionally gifted young academics and artists in Europe. In particular, we support cooperative projects which involve partners from at least three countries. In addition to the required artistic, academic or educational quality, the project application has to point out, that the participating project partners share the financial and thematic responsibility of the project and cooperate at eye-level. Special attention is paid to projects which enable long-term networks between the involved artists and project partners. Further, the Allianz Cultural Foundation only supports projects, not institutions. Aside from the countries of Central and South-eastern Europe, in the upcoming years the funding of the Allianz Cultural Foundation focuses on the Mediterranean area.
The criteria for funding focus on contemporary concepts of every genre and media which prove new, unique ideas in the arts, culture and education. The projects may also be workshops, whereas the active knowledge transfer and the exchange of experiences between the participants are valued as much as the resulting outcome. Furthermore, in the long run, sponsored projects should appeal to a larger audience rather than merely professionals.
