Announcement of the selection of publishers’ submissions to the ©POLAND Translation Program in 2024

On October 30th of this year, the application process for the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Programs was announced. The application period will last until December 1st of this year, and its launch in the SOP system will take place soon.

We invite you to apply to participate in the Polish collective booth organized by the Book Institute at the Bologna International Book Fair, which will take place from April 13-16, 2026.

We invite you to submit your applications to the "Other Traditions" programme.

Recently, a number of translations have been published abroad, supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©Poland Translation Programme. Notably, the translation of the award-winning Nike Literary Prize novel 'Ten się śmieje, kto ma zęby' by Zyta Rudzka, brought closer to German-speaking readers by the esteemed translator Lisa Palmes, deserves special attention. The translation was published by Matthes & Seitz Berlin.

The Book Institute has selected additional publications to receive funding from the Other Traditions program. Out of 47 offers submitted by publishers in August, 25 were accepted. A total of 16 publishers will receive support amounting to over 520,000 PLN.

This year, we premiered our 200 square meter booth designed by the Architectural and Jewelry Workshop Brokat from Katowice.
