The Translation House Looren Association together with Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, award the Looren Translation Grants 2009. Applications are invited from professional literary translators who are translating the work of a Swiss author out of one of the four Swiss national languages – German, French, Italian and Rhaeto-Romanic – into English. A Looren Translation Grant is also an acknowledgement of the excellence of a translator’s previous work. Four grants will be awarded. They are tied to a one-month stay at Translation House Looren, and are worth CHF 4000 each. Travel costs are reimbursed.
