Purpose
The pool provides grants for activities that promote games - including dissemination and professional dialog in the Danish games industry -, professional development focused on game content and storytelling, and the promotion of Danish digital games in Denmark and internationally.
Which activities are eligible for funding?
The Game Promotion Scheme can provide grants for primarily the following types of activities:
1. organizing courses, seminars and other short-term continuing education activities in Denmark.
2. Dissemination initiatives, publications and other forms of knowledge sharing related to Danish game development.
3. Game developers’ participation in presentations of Danish digital games at major international conferences, award ceremonies and similar professional forums.
4. Networking within the games industry and networking between the games industry and other media industries or art fields.
Who can apply?
The grant recipient must be anchored in a company that is registered in the Central Business Register (CVR). It is possible to get an exemption from the CVR registration requirement for applicants from the EU, EEA or Switzerland. Contact Mikkel Thomassen for guidance on this. Applicants must also document that they have the necessary skills to carry out the activity for which they are applying for a grant.
How does the evaluation work?
You can apply for Game Promotion grants at set application deadlines, which are published on this page. After the deadline, the applications will be assessed by a game promotion consultant. The position is currently held by NIMBI's Head of Grant Administration Mikkel Thomassen.
The applications are assessed based on a set of grant criteria focusing on professional dialog and networking, professional development in the industry and spreading awareness of Danish digital games. See the document "Criteria for assessment" for a more detailed description.
NIMBI aims to respond to applications within four weeks. During this period, the applicant may be contacted and asked to elaborate on the application. Subsequently, the game promotion consultant may decide to recommend to NIMBI's Executive Board to grant funding for the project. The Executive Board then makes the formal decision on the grant.
