Meet the committee
As well as supporting literature here in Denmark, the Danish Arts Foundation's Committee for Literary Project Funding also aims to promote Danish literature in translation. We do this via specific funding programmes for international applicants as well as various activities like visitor programmes and webinars for translators. We are also present at book fairs and host the annual Copenhagen Editors’ Fellowship.
You can stay up to date via Danish Lit Lounge’s free email magazine, as well as on Instagram and LinkedIn, where we post regular updates about Danish literature at home and abroad.
The committee rotates every four years. For 2022 - 20225, the committee is made up of:
Carsten Fenger-Grøndahl (chair), Ellen Holmboe (author) and Peder Frederik Jensen (author).
The committee has an annual budget of DKK 20.8 million to distribute across the literary funding programmes.
