The call for applications for the Translation Funding Competition 2025-2026, round II will be announced on March 24, 2025

Please note that electronic applications must be submitted on the website of the Lithuanian Culture Institute. Once you start filling out the application online, you should complete it in a single session. That means you must fill in all required sections, attach the necessary documents, and click the “Submit Application” button without leaving the application page. An unfinished application will not be saved, and if you close the page, your data will be lost. If you return later or the next day, you will have to start over.
