MediaFutures Open Call

Applications for a second tranche of MediaFutures awards for artists to create work around misinformation, technology and data are now open. The UK’s Open Data Institute is a partner in the programme.

Eligibility: Anyone in Europe. Applications are being encouraged from those groups who are not as well-represented in the art and start-up worlds, or face additional barriers to entry, including those from ethnic minorities, women and non-binary individuals, the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities and those in lower-middle income countries.

What you get: Artists (or groups of artists) are able to apply for up to €40,000 for collaborative work with startup businesses, or up to €30,000 for pure arts projects. Startup businesses can apply for €65,000 to create new products, or €80,000 to work with artists on innovation, under the European Commission-funded European Union's Horizon 2020 framework.
