Calls for applications
Submissions for the first call of the ©POLAND Translation Programme in 2026 take place from 15 June to 31 July. The ©POLAND Translation Programme promotes Polish literature throughout the world. It is aimed at foreign and Polish publishers interested in publishing Polish books in foreign-language translations.
Foreign publishers can use the grant to finance part of the costs of publishing the work, including, among others, translating the work from Polish into another language and purchasing copyright licenses. The subsidy can also be granted for printing children’s books, comics or richly illustrated works.
In 2025 alone, we co-financed 178 foreign editions of Polish books. In all editions of the program, we have co-financed a total of almost 4,000 translations of Polish books into foreign languages.
More information available in ‘Our programmes’ section.
We invite you to submit nominations for the Transatlantyk Award until March 31, 2026. The prize may be awarded to the translators of Polish literature, or those who promote it – publishers, literary critics and literaturee scholars, as well as cultural animators.
