The Arts Council has introduced a Literature Project Award in recognition of the changing landscape for literary work in Ireland. We are conscious that there are numerous ways in which literature reaches readers and audiences, and that
writers are often working in new and innovative ways, often in collaboration with other writers or artists from other disciplines.

With this in mind, the Literature Project Award has been developed to support projects that connect literature with readers and audiences. The Literature Project Award will also support projects that allow writers and illustrators to research, develop and create work in new and innovative ways.

Deadline: Thursday 28 July, 2022
