Production subsidies for illustrated Norwegian books
NORLA has two schemes offering production subsidies for illustrated books.
PRODUCTION SUBSIDY FOR PUBLICATION OF ILLUSTRATED FICTION
Foreign publishers, including publishers in the Nordic region, wishing to publish fiction picture books/illustrated novels/graphic novels by Norwegian authors and illustrators may apply for production subsidies. The publication must uphold the same production standard as the Norwegian publication.
The publisher must simultaneously apply for a translation subsidy from NORLA.
It is possible to apply for a production subsidy from NORLA for up to NOK 12,000.
The application must be submitted using the application form (below).
