Gramex supports culture

The money granted by the Danish Soloist Union comes from Gramex, an organisation approved by the Ministry of Culture.

Gramex collects payment when a recorded track of music is broadcast in public, e.g. on the radio, on TV and in stores. This amount is then distributed to the rights holders of the track, that is the vocalists, musicians and record companies.

However, Gramex is not always able to distribute all the money. Some of it goes into a pool of collective funds that are then distributed among nine of the artists’ own organisations, including the Danish Soloist Union.

Three pieces of advice       


Structure your application around three main headlines, and make sure to explain all of them.

Your burning idea
Show us that you are passionate about your project. Tell us the good story and what the project gives to others.

You are a good project leader
Give us a full rundown of the project from A to Z.

A convincing financial plan

Show us that you are financially responsible and able to draw up a realistic budget.
