Selection Criteria:

- Additionally, originality in concept and methods, artistic quality, and relevance
- (Will the project contribute something new and significant to the field in concept and approach?
- Will the project have a life beyond the immediate stage covered by the grant?)

Benefits
Requests should be between CHF 2 000 and CHF 10 000 in value (circa US$ 2100 – US$10 500). Additionally, the more precise, specific, and clear the budget is in relation to what you are trying to achieve, the better.
