Pro Helvetia Digital Culture Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Discover if your interactive digital media project qualifies for funding from the Swiss Arts Council to support innovative cultural content.

This scheme provides financial support for creators who are working on developing interactive digital media projects.

Who it's for

This funding is specifically designed for creators who are working on interactive digital media projects. It targets individuals or groups focused on the intersection of technology and creativity, specifically within the realm of digital media.

What you get

Successful applicants receive project funding intended to support the creation of innovative digital content. This financial assistance is meant to help bring complex, tech-driven artistic visions to life through the digital medium.

What it costs you

While there is no direct monetary fee to apply, the application process requires a significant investment of your time. Because the process is highly competitive, you must be prepared to put substantial effort into creating a very detailed project proposal that outlines your vision, your methods, and your goals for the digital medium.

The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is that this grant is not intended for standard streaming or everyday content creation. To be successful, your work cannot simply be a standard broadcast; it must be inherently "cultural" or "artistic" in nature. The project must move beyond basic digital presence to meet these specific artistic standards.

How to apply

  1. Refine your concept to ensure it is an interactive digital media project.
  2. Confirm that your work meets the required artistic or cultural standards rather than being standard streaming content.
  3. Prepare a comprehensive and detailed project proposal.
  4. Submit your application through the official Swiss Arts Council channels for review in the competitive selection process.
