The City of Linz is establishing a funding program to enable Linz artists and independent art and cultural initiatives to invite artists or cultural workers working outside of Austria to Linz for a joint project.

  
The funding program “LinzIMpORT” is intended to support artists and independent art and cultural initiatives with a connection to Linz with experimental art. LinzIMpORT projects aim to achieve the following effects:

  
* Positioning Linz as a modern cultural city with the priorities set out in the Linz Cultural Development Plan (KEP)
* Building networks and contacts between local and international art and culture scenes and creating added value for Linz art and culture activists
* sustainable impulses for a vibrant independent art and culture scene in Linz
* Promoting interdisciplinary artistic creation processes and enabling artistic work in Linz with artists who work outside of Austria.

With the special funding program LINZ\_media\_arts, the city of Linz, as a "UNESCO City of Media Arts," is setting another strong example for media art, focusing on the local scene. The international media arts community's attention, which has been focused on Linz since 1979 through Ars Electronica, is intended to be used to highlight the artistic work of local artists.

  
The expert jury will discuss and evaluate the submitted proposals based on the following quality criteria:

  
* innovative potential
* Coherence of ambition and feasibility
* sustainable impact and supra-regional relevance in the field of media art
