NORLA wishes to contribute to the recruitment of more translators of Norwegian literature. We invite interested candidates to apply for a seminar for new translators, to be held in Oslo from 22–25 April 2026.
The seminar is held in connection with the annual Fosse Prize for Translators of Norwegian Literature. The prize was awarded for the first time last year and was established by the Norwegian government when Jon Fosse was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2023.
NORLA annually hands out an award to a talented emerging translator of Norwegian literature. The award is given for translations directly from Norwegian as an encouragement towards continued efforts.
The 2026 award will be given to a translator of non-fiction.
We would very much like to hear from you about deserving candidates!
We look forward to welcoming up to five translators of Norwegian literature to Oslo, to stay at our Translator Hotel, May 11-24.
Please note that the offer is only available for translators who translate directly from Norwegian, and who have translated at least two titles.
