The Commission Grant Committee of Teosto The Commission Grant Committee of Teosto seeks to promote Finnish music by distributing grants for composition commissions of a professional nature. Finnish music here means works by Finnish composers and arrangers. Both Finnish citizens and others permanently resident in Finland qualify in this respect as Finnish. Grants are awarded on the basis of applications handled by an artistic committee of experts. These experts are appointed for two years at a time by the Board of Teosto on the recommendation of the Finnish Music Publishers’ Association, the Society of Finnish Composers and the Guild of Light Music Composers and Authors in Finland (ELVIS). Applications must be submitted before the execution/publication of a project. Grants are not paid until the composition has been completed and the score has been presented to the committee.
