Call for Literary Work Contribution 2023

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

In order for a publication, a composition, the translation of an existing literary work or the screenplay for a film to be developed 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 contribution 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, the contribution of CHF 10,000 is awarded to one person or to several projects.

The dossier with a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae as well as a project description (content/conceptual description of the project, synopsis, statement of content, time schedule) must be submitted by March 8, 2023 (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 to helena.mettler@chur.ch.

The decision will be announced in April 2023.
