The United States of America gives importance to literature and artistic heritage. The federal government has built a completely independent agency, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), that offers support and funding to projects manifesting artistic excellence.
The NEA's efforts are based around providing support for the excellence in new and established arts forms; bringing arts to all Americans, and ultimately providing leadership in arts education.
In line with this particular goal, the NEA has constituted the Literature Fellowship for Translation Projects grant. The grant provides fellowships for published translators as they translate specific works of prose, poetry or drama.
The NEA encourages published translators to creatively translate literary materials which aren't effectively represented in the English language.
In addition, the NEA will give priority to literary pieces which may have not been translated to English before. The translated piece's literary excellence and value will likely impact the rigorous procedure of grantee selection.
The Literature Fellowship for Translation Project grants are for $12,500 and $25,000.
Interested applicants must submit their applications electronically to the Grants.gov website. Deadline of such applications is going to be on January 5, 2012.
Published translators meeting the following criteria listed here will be considered eligible to apply:
a) Must be citizens or legal residents of the US
b) Have published a total of at least 20 pages of creative literature translations (into English) in curated digital or print formats such as literary magazines, books, anthologies, etc.
c) Have published an English translation of a novel or a volume of at least 20 pages of fiction, poetry, drama, essays, and creative nonfiction pieces
d) Had presented or produced (by a professional theater) at least one full-length play which you translated into English
However, published translators wouldn't be qualified to apply:
a) If they have previously received three or more literature fellowships in fiction, creative non-fiction, or poetry
b)Should they have received any literature fellowships from the NEA within the past five years
c) If they wish to make use of the grant for scholarly writing
d) If they wish to use the grant to acquire academic degrees.
