Single Project support is aimed at independent production companies that have been registered for at least one year, developing dramas, animations or creative documentaries. Companies submitting an application must have produced a previous work, which has been commercially distributed during the two calendar years preceding the publication of the Call for Proposals (1 January 2009) and the date of submission of their application.
Which types of production are eligible for a Single Project development grant?
Dramas, animations and creative documentaries (works that take a real-life subject as their starting point but require substantial original writing and set out an author's and/or director's point of view). All such works must be of a minimum length and the applicant company must hold the copyright.
How much is a Single Project grant worth?
The minimum grant is 10,000€. The maximum grant is 60,000€ except for feature-length animations for theatrical release, for which the maximum is 80,000€.
What is the total EU budget for Single Project grants?
For 2012, the budget allocated to co-financing Single Projects is estimated to be 7m€ (3,5 m€ for the 1st deadline and 3,5 m€ for the 2nd)
When will the results of the selection procedure be known?
For the 1st deadline (applications
sent between the publication of the Call for Proposals and
25/11/11), applicants will be informed of the results during the month of April
2012.
For the 2nd deadline (applications sent between 26/11/11 and 13/04/12),
applicants will be informed of the results during the month of September 2012.
How likely are you to receive a grant?
Project applications received by the Agency are ranked by merit at the end of the selection procedure. The best are awarded funding within the limit of the available budget. Under the last Call for Proposals (25/2010), 890 single project applications were received, of which 192 were selected.
