In 2020, Pro Helvetia will once again award work grants of CHF 25,000 each to Swiss authors writing in all four national languages. Thanks to this support, they can fully devote themselves to a literary project over a long period. The funding is destined both for established authors and young talents. However, they must have already published a work with a publishing house.

For the second time running, Pro Helvetia is also supporting performative literary projects. Collectives as well as individual artists in the spoken word area can apply for flexible work grants of up to 15,000 CHF.
