Kiruna 2029 European Capital of Culture is calling for applications for large and medium-sized projects that can be led by an external organisation as part of the official artistic programme of Kiruna2029. There are two main areas: Test an Idea and Artistic Project. The European Capital of Culture is an initiative intended to invite everyone who wishes to engage, broaden perspectives, discover new ways to develop, and allow creativity and curiosity to bring us closer together. It is an opportunity to present something out of the ordinary. In selecting projects to be included in the official artistic programme for Kiruna 2029, there are five criteria: Homemaking, European Adventure, Perspectives, Finding New Ways, and Power of Culture. A project’s size can be defined based on several factors. These may include the project’s duration, financial scope, audience reach, or its strategic importance in delivering projects and achieving the objectives outlined in the Kiruna2029 Bid book.

Under this open call, Kiruna2029 can contribute up to 50% of the total project budget. There are no specific requirements regarding which project costs may be covered by funding granted by Kiruna2029. However, it is important to note that Kiruna2029 cannot be the sole funder of a project.

Note that there are two different deadlines depending on the category:
Test an idea: December 31, 2026
Artistic Project: September 30, 2026
