Q&A : Open Call 2021

See our Q&A : Open Call 2021 to find answers to commonly asked questions!

Can I send several proposals?
Yes.

Can I send my application by email?
No.

Can we apply as a collective/company/working group?
Yes.

I don’t know Kuopio, how to propose a site? Do you have a list of sites?
No worries. We don’t have a list of sites. Please propose a site or space that discusses with your work the best. You may describe the site generally; “an office”, “a forest”, “an old warehouse” etc.

What are the financial terms?
The application form asks you to estimate a budget for your proposed project. Please estimate a fee that would cover your work in the project and all other costs needed to bring and present your work in Kuopio, Finland.

Unfortunately, we can not give you an exact budget at this point. Based on the proposed budget, we will negotiate on the financial terms with the selected artists.

What should I write to the budget?
A good budget estimation includes:
Fees
Traveling costs; flight/train tickets for all the members of the performing group; from which city you are traveling from?
Accommodation costs; for all the members of the touring/working group; how many days you would like to stay in Kuopio?
Material costs; which materials your work requires and what are the costs?
Technical equipment; which technical equipment your work requires and what are the costs?
Rehearsal space rental
Performance space rental; unless you want to perform in public spaces/outdoors
Possible other costs

Please notice that ANTI Festival does not have any existing venues, rehearsal studios or other properties. Please estimate the costs based on your best knowledge; you do not need to know, e.g. the exact rental rates in Finland.

When will you publish the selection?
We aim to contact the shortlisted artists by the end of February 2021 to discuss their projects, and to confirm our programme in the late spring.
