The Cultural Foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf awards residency fellowships to artists and writers in Schloss Wiepersdorf (State of Brandenburg, Fläming) in accordance with the following guidelines and dependent on the means available pursuant to the regulations of the State Budget Ordinance (LHO) and the administrative regulations (VV) relating to sections 23 and 44. Fellowships are granted at the Foundation’s discretion and no one can claim legal entitlement to a residency fellowship.

 

**Type and scope of the fellowship**

The number of fellowships awarded is dependent on the funds available in the budget of the federal state of Brandenburg.

The residency fellowship lasts for three months and is granted for the periods March to May, June to August, and September to November. Applicants in the category of Science are allowed to choose a two months period in exceptional cases.

In addition to room and board at Schloss Wiepersdorf, all fellows also receive a monthly cash stipend of €1200 and a one-time grant of €480 to cover material expenses. (If the stay is shortened, the material cost grant is reduced by €160 per month.)

To the extent capacity is available, a studio will be made available to fellows in Fine arts.

Visa costs will be covered for fellows from countries requiring a visa for Germany.

**Award procedure**

Fellowships will be awarded in consultation with an independent jury of experts.

Artists and writers can apply for either an individual fellowship or a collaborative fellowship.

Artists and writers who wish to take up the fellowship on their own can apply for an **individual fellowship**.

Applicants for **collaborative fellowships** should each name one or two people with whom they will work together on their artistic productions at Schloss Wiepersdorf.

A collaborative fellowship includes two rooms, one for the fellow and an additional room for the other participant(s) in the project, either one guest for the entire period or two guests who will participate consecutively, each one for part of the three-month residency.

The other participants can come from any artistic field—including arts and crafts. The same conditions apply for them as for the fellows.

Domestic partners or spouses can only be suggested if they directly participate in the artistic production of the respective fellow.
