The United States of America gives importance to literature and artistic heritage. The us government has built an independent agency, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which offers support and funding to projects manifesting artistic excellence.
The NEA's tasks 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 are not adequately represented within the English language.
In addition, the NEA gives priority to literary pieces which have not been translated to English before. The translated piece's literary excellence and value will also affect the rigorous procedure of grantee selection.
The Literature Fellowship for Translation Project grants are for $12,500 and $25,000.
Interested applicants have to submit their applications electronically to the Grants.gov website. Deadline of such type of applications shall be on January 5, 2012.
Published translators meeting the following criteria listed here will be considered eligible to apply:
a) Have to 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 including 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 in the past five years
c) If they would like to make use of the grant for scholarly writing
d) If they would like to use the grant to obtain academic degrees.
