Application notesApplicants must seek their own affiliation; ASF cannot provide an affiliation. Projects should not begin before April 15; decisions are announced April 15. ASF does not ordinarily support art residency programs (applicants must explain why a residency is crucial) and does not fund performances or exhibitions. If language proficiency is required for the project (e.g. interviews or translation), one of the three letters of recommendation must address Nordic language proficiency and come from a qualified instructor or professional in that language. Limit of two ASF awards within 10 years.
