Announcement of Literary Contribution 2022

The city of Chur offers an annual literary contribution in the amount of CHF 10,000. The contribution is intended to provide financial support for authors, translators, composers and screenwriters.

In order to be able to produce a publication, a composition, the translation of an existing literary work or the screenplay for a film in an intensive creative phase without economic pressure, cultural workers are dependent on support from third parties. The City of Chur takes this fact into account and awards a literary work grant every year, which guarantees authors, translators, composers or screenwriters financial support for a certain period of time. Applications are open to professional cultural workers who are citizens of Chur and who have grown up or live in Chur.

Depending on the number and quality of the submissions, one person or several projects will be awarded a grant of CHF 10,000.

The dossier with a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae and a project description (description of the content/concept of the project, synopsis, description of content, timetable) must be submitted by 31 January 2022 (date of postmark) to the Cultural Office of the City of Chur, Klostergasse 11, P.O. Box 810, 7001 Chur, or sent by e-mail tohelena.mettler@chur.ch. The decision will be announced in March 2022.
