Deadline: 1-Mar-22
Pro Helvetia is pleased to launch an open call for the Interactive Media Program to promote the professional contemporary Swiss creation of interactive content with a view to ensuring its diversity as well as its national and international reach.
It supports the creation of new interactive works, the dissemination of Swiss interactive content outside Switzerland and cultural exchange in Switzerland and abroad.
Pro Helvetia only supports projects of cross-regional or international significance and supplements the promotional activities of Switzerland’s cantons and cities.
Funding focuses on digital content whose use requires a high degree of interaction. This is the case when user action has a major impact on content. Supported projects are characterised by originality, formal and design quality, feasibility, a high degree of innovation and potential marketability.
Excluded from support are commissioned works and projects that are part of an advertising campaign, content whose intended impact is solely pedagogical or therapeutic, content which degrades members of one sex or a specific group or violates human dignity, content which glorifies violence, content of a pornographic nature and purely technological projects without recognisable content.
