Dear translators,
We wish you a very happy and creative 2014, and would like to thank you for the greetings that have reached us from all over the world!
In the fall of 2012, its fiftieth anniversary year, the Max Geilinger Foundation Prize was awarded to the Translation House Looren. The Foundation was established in memory of the Zurich poet, dramatist, and translator Max Geilinger (1884-1948), and honors individuals or institutions for outstanding contributions to the cultural exchange between Switzerland and the English-speaking world.
The Translation House Looren Association is using the prize money to fund the Max Geilinger Translation Grants from 2013 to 2015. Applications are open to translators who are translating a work of Swiss literature into English or translating an English-language work into German, French, Italian, or Rhaeto-Romanic.
Ten grants will be awarded. Each is worth CHF 2,000 and is tied to a one-month residency at Translation House Looren. Grant recipients are responsible for their own travel costs.
Application Deadlines are February 28, June 30, and October 31, respectively. To find out more, see the attached file or visit: http://www.looren.net/53-2-Max-Geilinger-Grants.html
The entire Looren team looks forward to meeting new guests and welcoming back familiar faces over the following months.
Best wishes,
Florence Widmer
