Litteraturprosjekt

This grant supports literary projects for books in Norwegian, Sami, or national minority languages (Kven, Romani, and Romanes). The purpose is to enable the initiation, development, and accessibility of projects that increase breadth and quality in the literary field in Norway. Literary publications can be in written, oral, or digital form. The scheme supports various activities including editorial initiatives for translated literature, critical text work on Norwegian or Sami classics, recruitment of literary voices and diversity expansion, translation to Norwegian of literary works by minority language authors residing in Norway, translation of works written in Sami languages, literary projects in national minority languages, literary projects by or for persons with disabilities, distribution of minority language literature and accessible literature, and publication of non-fiction literature on literary themes. The grant does not typically provide full financing, and applications are evaluated by an expert committee that considers artistic and professional content, project quality, relevance to the scheme's purpose, and feasibility.
