During the stay, the premises and infrastructure of the Künstlerdorf can be used. The fellowship is not designed as a production fellowship and there is no obligation to present work results. However, there is the possibility to use exhibition and presentation facilities. In addition, we welcome the voluntary co-organization of events, in the form of lectures, readings, workshops or the like.

The selection of fellows is made by expert juries according to the following criteria and weighting: quality of the previous work, quality and plausibility of the project for Schöppingen, program contributions (interaction / community building).
