Overview
Legally registered festival organizations in Guinea are eligible for the 2026 West Africa medium-festival grant call, which plans 42 grants of up to EUR 50,000 each across six cultural sectors.
Complete grant details
The EU-funded, Goethe-Institut-implemented call will select 42 medium-sized festivals across cinema/audiovisual/animation, heritage, literature, music, performing arts and visual arts, with seven festivals selected per sector. Proposed activities should support collaboration, co-production, festival circuits, professional mobility, European festival links and international marketing. Applications are submitted through the Goethe Application Portal in French or English.
Eligibility requirements
The applicant must be a legal entity registered in one of the 15 target West African countries, including Guinea. Eligible applicants include public or private organizations, nonprofit organizations and local authorities active in the listed cultural sectors. Each organization may submit only one project. The official call also requires organizational and financial evidence and evaluates relevance, budget, collaboration, organizational capacity, gender and environmental considerations.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Official Goethe-Institut West Africa call page and its current call-detail PDF were checked. Guinea is explicitly one of the 15 target countries. The call states 42 grants, up to EUR 50,000 per selected organization, and a submission period from 21 August to 20 September 2026. No closing clock is stated, so deadline_date is used. This regional call is integrated once and must not be republished for Guinea-Bissau or other eligible countries.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
