Are you a professional musician and do you want to release your music in a digital or physical format, but are you short of cash? The Sena Music Production Fund can help you out with the support you need to take the next step in your musical career.
Application rounds in 2023
As in previous years, there will be several application rounds in 2023. An overview can be found below. Applicants will be told whether their application has been successful within three months.
Application round 1: 14 November 2022 until 12 March 2023
Application round 2: 13 March 2023 until 25 June 2023
Application round 3: 26 June 2023 until 12 November 2023
This means that sunday 12 March is the deadline for the next application round. Applications received after that date will be carried over to the next application round.
How to apply
If you want to make your own recording too, check the terms and conditions (Dutch) to see whether your application qualifies for funding. If it does, complete the application form and send the form (Dutch), including all necessary attachments and as a single file by email to sociaalcultureel@sena.nl.
Each year, the Sena Music Production Fund receives more than 400 requests for funds out of its annual budget of €500,000, so only a limited number of applications will be successful. All funding decisions are made by Sena’s Performers Section, following consultation with an advisory committee. Applications are assessed by the committee on the basis of a number of criteria, as specified in the funding terms and conditions.
If you have any questions, send an email to sociaalcultureel@sena.nl.
