Production subsidies for illustrated Norwegian books

NORLA has two schemes offering production subsidies for illustrated books.
The publisher must simultaneously apply for a translation subsidy from NORLA.

Important information:
NORLA’s old online application is no longer in use. As of January 16, NORLA will be using a new application platform: Norwegian Arts Abroad Application Portal for submitting and managing applications, payment requests and reports.
The platform has been developed in e-Apply by Solea for the entire Norwegian Arts Abroad network*, of which NORLA is a part. Login is required.
