The Department of Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture announces the renewal of the Grant-Aid scheme for the translation of works of Cypriot literary writers from Greek into foreign languages for years 2024 and 2025.

The “Grant-Aid scheme for the translation of works of Cypriot literary writers from Greek into foreign languages” constitutes a measure implemented by the Department of Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture. It aims at providing incentives for the promotion and dissemination of Cypriot literature (from the 19th century onwards) abroad, enhancing the circulation of Cypriot literature and supporting the mobility of Cypriot writers internationally.

In the context of the implementation of this measure, applications are examined for subsidising the translation of literary works by Cypriot authors into any foreign language (target language), which have already been published in the original language (Greek), as well as of literary works that have been written in Turkish (original language) and have already been translated and published in Greek.

The deadline for submissions for 2024 is the 30th April 2024.
