Translation grants in March 2024

Open call for translation grants from Performing Arts Centre Iceland. The application deadline is April 2, at 4:00 PM

The objective of translation grants is to generate interest, increase visibility and demand for Icelandic plays and stage works abroad.

Translation grants are provided to support translations of original Icelandic plays into other languages. The play must have been premiered in Iceland before applying for translation.

You can also apply for a grant for a subtitle of Icelandic stage work for a performance outside Iceland. Please note that the Performing Arts Centre does not fully fund translations.

The condition for the grant is that the translation is made directly from Icelandic and that there is an invitation or intent to perform the work abroad. Support for adaptation or production costs is not covered by this grant. Translation grants from the Performing Arts Centre Iceland are awarded twice a year.
