Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply more than once?
It is possible to submit multiple applications at the same time for different projects. Please be aware that it is not possible to submit more than two rounds for the same project. A third application in a row for the same project is therefore not admissible.
Selection & feedback
The selection is made by a rotating team. Unfortunately we receive many more requests than we have space available. Although we are grateful for the many inspiring and exciting project proposals we receive each year, personal feedback after a negative answer is therefore not possible.
