The Cultural Department of the Canton of Valais in Switzerland has two residencies available in Rarogne for professional literary translators from Switzerland or elsewhere. During the residency the translator will work on a literary text written by an author from Valais or the Alpine arc, or a text that is related thematically to the Alps. The original text or translation has to be written in one of Switzerland’s four national languages. During their three-month stay, either in the period April-June or October-December 2017, the beneficiaries will each receive a grant of 1500 Swiss Francs per month.
Only applications submitted via the website www.vs-myculture.ch (http://www NULL.vs-myculture NULL.ch/) before 31 May 2016 will be taken into consideration. Any complementary documentation (with reference to the application) can be sent to the following address:
