The production, replication and distribution of new EPs or albums present pop musicians with major financial and logistical challenges. Especially in pop music, releases are an essential part of creating the basis for live performances and further career opportunities. In order to support pop musicians in a meaningful way in the area of production and publication of their creative work, the Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart and the Cultural Office of the State Capital Stuttgart jointly launched the pop-scholarships for the Stuttgart region in 2021.
