Translation awards

Prizes and contributions for translation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation promotes the dissemination of Italian publishing and cinematographic works abroad through the provision of incentives for translation and dubbing/subtitling that represent a strategic tool for the promotion of Italian language and culture abroad.

The Foreign Ministry provides two types of financial incentives:

  • Contribution to the translation of an Italian work abroad not yet published and for the production, dubbing and subtitling of short and feature films and television series.
  • Award to an Italian work already translated abroad.

To know the aims of the initiative, the deadlines and all the relevant rules and regulations, please refer to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Applications must be submitted annually to the Italian Cultural Institutes and to the Italian diplomatic and consular representations abroad, according to the procedures established by the Call.
