Danish Arts Foundation
Sample Translations From Danish

The purpose of the Danish Arts Foundation is, among other things, to further literature and access to literature in Denmark as well as further Danish literature abroad.
With this program, the Committee for Literary Project Funding wants to support Danish and foreign publishers and agencies that want to pay a translator for a sample translation of a current Danish work. The purpose of the sample translation must be to assess if there’s interest in a full translation and publication.
The committee provides a fixed grant of DKK 8,000 for a sample translation of 40 pages, where the original work is 100 pages or more.
The committee provides a fixed grant of DKK 3,000 for a sample translation of picture-based literature or where the original work is under 100 pages.
The grant cannot stand alone and further financing of the sample translation is expected. The grant can only be used for the applicant’s fee.
