EUR 40 000 allocated in 2023 (SEK 467 000)

The Fund has allocated a total amount of SEK 467 000 for grants for different projects during 2023. The specific projects are described in separate blog posts. Within the three categories, project, travel and media grants, project grants are by far the most applied for, media grants the least. The fund recognizes an increased activity, partly because of the fund becoming better known and partly because of the pandemic coming to an end.

To the projects mentioned in the lists of spring and fall seasons (see separate posts), a special grant (EUR 5000/SEK 58000) was allocated to the Baltic Sea Film Festival in Stockholm, organized in mid October 2023 by Kulturhuset/Stadsteatern and co-financed by all three Baltic cooperation funds.
