As funding is limited, it is advisable to apply in good time or, in the case of bookings at short notice, to consult in advance before making an appointment.
Please note the age recommendations for the authors on the information pages.
As the organiser, first contact the author or author duo and arrange a date for your event.
Then submit an application via the NRWKS funding portal for the reading and/or workshop.
Since the funding is a financial contribution to the artist's fees, it is sufficient to list only the costs for fees and, if applicable, press and public relations work in the cost and financing plan.
You can only conclude contracts with the author or author duo once you have received written confirmation of funding.
The content of the project must fit into the NRWKS "Werkproben" funding programme and be located in one of the NRWKS member cities.
In addition, the project must be open to the public. Exceptions apply to internal school events.
The project must not have been started by the time the grant is confirmed. This includes public relations work, conclusion of contracts, awarding of contracts and payments.
Funding is not provided for parties and organisations that pursue a profit-making objective.
Applications must be submitted via the NRWKS funding portal.
An additional cost and financing plan must be uploaded to the funding portal for all projects with a total volume of more than 5,000 euros.
Please note whether further documents, e.g. letters of recommendation or letters of approval from other funding bodies, need to be uploaded to the funding portal for the application.
The application must also be sent by post.
