You can now apply for a TONO scholarship

The application period for this year's TONO scholarship and Young Talents scholarship is from February 28 to April 4. Here you can read about the criteria and how to apply.

TONO's two scholarship schemes, the TONO Scholarship and Young Talents, are instruments that are intended to provide concrete stimulation for the creation of new musical works and new music lyrics. This year, NOK 11,7 million has been allocated for the TONO Scholarship. The Norwegian Composers' Association and NOPA have also allocated funds for Young Talents this year. You can apply for the scholarship at My TONO membership service.

– TONO's statutes state that TONO's mission is to work for the innovation of musical works. TONO's work with the collection and payment of remuneration contributes very specifically to this, but the scholarship schemes are also an important part of this mission. We see year after year that the scholarship leads very specifically to new works being written and projects being realized. We hope that many will take advantage of the opportunity to apply for a scholarship this year, says Deputy Director of TONO, Svein Korshamn.

To be able to apply for the TONO grant, you must have had a management contract with TONO for at least 3 years as of April 4.
