‘Novi Sad 2021 – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation has opened a public call in the field of publishing and translation and a public call for joining the official programme in 2022. The deadline for submitting applications and accompanying documentation is 7 July 2021.

The goal of the public call for co-financing projects in culture that represent a contribution to strengthening the contemporary Novi Sad cultural scene in the field of publishing and translation in 2021 is to enrich literary programmes, strengthen the publishing scene, and provide publications of local authors which will serve the promotional purposes of the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ project.

In addition to this, the call improves the literary and publishing scene and the possibility of cooperation on European projects and contributes to the visibility of local authors and topics in the field of European culture. The competition is intended for publishing and translation activities on the territory of Novi Sad and ‘Zone 021’ (municipalities of Irig, Beočin and Sremski Karlovci). Applicants are obliged to opt for one of the thematic units, i.e. programme arches (Doček, Second Europe, Migrations, Fortress of Peace, Future of Europe, Heroines, Danube Sea, Kaleidoscope of Culture), i.e. for Visit Novi Sad programme stream.

The total amount per grant is RSD 800,000.

When it comes to the Public Call for proposing projects that are in line with the 4 New Bridges programme concept for new bridges, in order to further enrich the cultural and artistic programme of the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital’ project, they must be implemented in the City of Novi Sad and ‘Zone 021’ (Municipalities of Irig, Beočin, Sremski Karlovci), and in exceptional cases the programme can be implemented in other places. The call opens the possibility of using the brand and visuals of the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ project for selected projects, as well as the inclusion of the programme in the final Programme Book of the European Capital of Culture, which will be promoted and presented internationally. The public call is intended for applicants who do not need additional financial support, so the selected projects will not be co-financed.
