Microprojects
Micro-projects provide impetus for new cultural formats or encounters in the city and the Capital of Culture region. Even after the end of the European Capital of Culture year, the broad urban and regional society is called upon to create new forms of communication and social interaction.
Non-commercial project ideas for creative and cultural work, such as visual arts, performing arts, literature, music, film, photography, architecture, peace and remembrance culture, media and new media, related forms and interdisciplinary projects as well as activities in sport, civil society and popular culture can be funded. Activities that focus on diversity, sustainability, inclusion and/or multi-generational cooperation are also expressly desired.

Participation and promotion
Associations, initiatives and committed individuals were invited to submit their specific projects. Projects could receive funding of up to €2,000. Projects with a European dimension could receive up to €2,500 (e.g. invitations to artists from Europe or international partners, which entail additional expenses for fees, travel and accommodation costs). Self-financing was not a prerequisite. It was recommended that the project application be submitted with a very detailed plan for its planning, implementation and financing so that it could be implemented in a timely manner (if necessary, any permits or rooms had already been requested). A jury selected the most convincing project ideas from among all the submissions, which were then supported financially and in the communication and promotion of the project's implementation.
The microprojects were supported by eins energie in sachsen GmbH & Co. KG.
Thanks to the commitment of eins energie in sachsen GmbH & Co. KG as the main sponsor of Chemnitz 2025 European Capital of Culture, the funding amount in this final round of microprojects was increased, so that a total of €100,000 was available for projects in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture region.
