First, create a short video (up to 90 seconds) that showcases your $100,000 USD concept. Post the video on one of your social media channels: YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. Tag @artlist.io and use hashtag #Artlist100KFund.

Next, fill out the application form on the Artlist $100K Fund website. You’ll need to provide your full and accurate contact details, a link to the video you posted on your socials, and share a few words about yourself and your concept.

That’s it! You're now in the running for the Artlist $100K Fund.

Your $100,000 idea can be about anything. Any idea you’ve ever had for a video, but haven’t yet been able to make happen — we want to hear about it.

It can be the YouTube channel you always wanted to launch, a music video done all in AI, an experimental short film that could only come from your creative mind, a feature-length film you’ve always wanted to shoot, or a weekly series of comedy sketches on your TikTok.

One grant recipient will receive $100,000 USD in funding to bring their passion project or creative dream to life.

The grant money will be delivered in installments, based on the progress and needs of the grant winners’ project.

Please note that the grant may be subject to a tax deduction.

The Artlist $100K Fund is here to make one exciting creative project happen. So what matters is your creativity and originality.

Based on those two factors, Artlist will compile a shortlist of the top applications. If you’re on that shortlist, you'll need to create a more in-depth pitch deck and be available for a short video interview.

Your pitch deck will need to include a more detailed outline of your project and production needs. You’ll be contacted with all the relevant information beforehand.

Due to the expected volume of applicants and our commitment to reviewing each application thoroughly, the selection process could take some time. We aim to announce the Artlist $100K Fund winner by the end of October 2025.

Creators selected for the shortlist will be notified via email A notification email will be sent even if your project was not selected.

For the full details see the terms and conditions.

Once you’ve been selected as the big winner, you will have 1 year to complete your project.

Absolutely! The Artlist $100K Fund is open to all creators and you can join even if you don’t have an active Artlist subscription.

It’s important to note, however, that the final project will have to include music and assets from Artlist. A 1-year Artlist Max subscription will be provided in addition to the grant money.

Once you submit your project pitch via the application form on the fund website, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Our team will go through each and every application form submitted.

You must submit your pitch by August 14, 2025 at 11:59PM EDT.

Any application submitted after this date won’t be eligible.

No. Only one application per person/team/company will be accepted. Creators who apply multiple times will be disqualified.

The Artlist $100K Fund is here to make one exciting creative project happen, so dream big! If your concept requires funding of less than $100,000, try to go even further and justify the full grant amount.

You maintain the rights to your project, but grant Artlist the license to showcase your work. We’re only interested in sharing your work on our social media, marketing materials, and celebrating your creativity with our community. You can see the full breakdown in the terms and conditions.
