Over a time span of three months 11,387 artists and scientists from more than 140 different countries registered on the application website to receive information about the application process for the selection of the 18th Solitude generation. Among them 2,903 candidates handed in their application.

All in all 58 fellows from 33 countries have been selected by the jury out of seven different spheres of practice. With the finalisation of the selection process, the fellowship program of Akademie Schloss Solitude has been defined until the end of 2024. The awarded grant per fellow amounts to 1,200 Euro per month.

Six of the selected fellows are from Ukraine, five from India, three from Iran, two each from Nigeria, Poland, Canada, Australia and Brazil as well as one from Myanmar. Eight of the selected fellows live in Germany (four have been awarded a fellowship in the German literature sphere of practice ), the other selected fellows come from 23 more countries. The majority of the fellows comes from Asia, South America and Africa. Only 16 fellows come from Europe.

As usual, many of the selected artists and scientists don’t live in the country they were born and raised but often have more than one place of residence in different countries.

In October 2022 the first fellows of the new generation will arrive. Further arrival dates will be April 2023, October 2023 and April 2024.

The next application round of Akademie Schloss Solitude will take place at the end of 2023.
The exact dates will be announced in due time.
