As far as I understand it, you already have to live in Germany when you apply (so that you don't move to Germany only when your application was successful). To quote from http://prototypefund.de/en/submission/ http://prototypefund.de/en/submission/: "Ich bin über 18 Jahre alt und mit meinem Hauptwohnsitz in Deutschland gemeldet." (roughly "I'm over 18 years old and have my primary residence in Germany"), which you have to sign. Additionally you have to fill out your application on http://prototypefund.de/en/submission/ http://prototypefund.de/en/submission/ in German. So if your knowledge of the German language is not good enough for that, you are probably out of luck. So it seems to me that if you are only willing to relocate to Germany when your application is successful or if your level of the German language is not sufficient to apply, the answer is "no". On the other hand: If you aren't a German citizen, this should be no problem.
