The whiteBOX in Munich's Werksviertel is organizing together with the Competence team for the cultural and creative industries of the City of Munich a crowdfunding competition.
Crowdfunding projects that deal with the city and living space of Munich can apply from now until July 10, 2017 Apply. Cash prizes and support for the crowdfunding campaign are up for grabs. A panel of experts will determine who will be eligible to participate in the crowdfunding competition. The participants will be announced on July 14, 2017. The teams will then prepare their crowdfunding campaigns and receive professional support. If the funding is successful, the teams will also be able to use the whiteBOX infrastructure.
Prizes of 10,000 euros
The projects are presented on the crowdfunding platform Startnext with a funding target of between €5,000 and €15,000 and are to be implemented by 2018. Whether music productions, performances, participatory projects, street art, urban gardening, computer games, installations, or purely artistic approaches: the project teams are free to choose the genre and format.
“With an amount that would otherwise only enable us to realize one project, we can potentially launch a whole handful or more projects—and activate the community at the same time!”
explains whiteBOX managing director Dr. Martina Taubenberger The basic idea of the competition. A total of 10,000 euros will be awarded as part of the campaign: 3,000 euros to first place, 2,000 euros to second place, and 1,000 euros to third place. A jury prize of 3,000 euros is also awarded, and an audience prize of 1,000 euros is awarded. The competition jury is comprised of representatives from whiteBOX.art, the City of Munich's Cultural and Creative Industries Competence Team, and representatives from Munich's cultural and creative scene.
