RESIDENCY ALERT! Bremen's virtual residency is now open for applications!

Posted: Monday Sep 09, 2024

Applications close 30 November 2024

To promote literature in digital media, the Bremer Literaturhaus [virt.] e.V. association, with the support of the Senator for Culture, awards the Bremen Net Residency every two years as a three-month online scholarship in the virtual Literaturhaus Bremen.

The scholarship supports authors who have already published with a publishing house. The focus of the scholarship will be on the creative and critical engagement with current digital media. Emphasis is placed on the use of innovative literary or artistic methods. Digital literature projects that emphasize an open-minded exchange of literature will be supported. Authors from UNESCO Cities of Literature are particularly encouraged to apply with a project idea.

The scholarship is endowed with a one-off amount of 2,500 €. An independent jury will decide on the award. The virtual residency at the Literaturhaus Bremen begins on March 1 and ends on May 31, 2025. As part of the scholarship, the recipient will create their own project website. Following the period of residency, the scholarship holder will be invited to present their project at a literature festival in Bremen.

Applicants should submit a short project outline (max. 1 DIN A4 page) that convincingly presents the idea and specific implementations of the project.

Please send your project outline and a short CV to heike.mueller@literaturhaus-bremen.de by 30 November 2024.
