• Important: No other federal or state funding, such as the Goethe Institute, Initiative Musik or cultural authorities, may be accepted at the same time as RockCity funding.

Funding is only awarded on a case-by-case basis. It is a one-time reimbursement and does not guarantee any entitlement to further funding and/or any increase in the scope of funding. The applicant is responsible for taxing the funding. The GREEN TOURING FONDS serves to promote popular music in Hamburg.
