Allocation of Funding: 2nd Funding Round 2022

Musicboard is pleased to support 15 innovative and diverse projects with a total volume of 212,174.00 euros in the second funding round of Karrieresprungbrett Berlin and Pop im Kiez in 2022.

A total of 69 applications have been submitted. In making its selection, the jury once again placed great importance to projects that reflect the social and cultural diversity of Berlin’s music scene. In particular, applications were considered that are dedicated to the promotion of women, non-binary, queer people and BIPOC (Black, indigenous, people of colour) as well as those that focus on accessibility and inclusion. It is in the interest of Musicboard to support projects that perform important work in the area of promoting young talent in Berlin and enrich the scene with innovative ideas. Musicboard promotes projects that reflect the diversity of the city, but would not be feasible without financial support.

»In this funding round there were many new and fresh ideas, als well as numerous tried-and-tested projects proving that the scene has not lost its courage despite the difficult circumstances. Even if the available budget is only enough for a few projects, all your work and ideas are important for Berlin’s lively and multifaceted music scene – and the next application deadline is sure to come,« the jury concludes.
