Ny norsk skjønnlitteratur for barn og unge – automatisk innkjøpsordning

This scheme provides "innkjøp til folkebibliotek av norsk skjønnlitteratur for barn og unge" (purchases of Norwegian fiction for children and youth for public libraries). The scheme aims to ensure new Norwegian fiction for children and youth is created, published, distributed and read, with quality standards upheld by Kulturrådet.

Eligible applicants are "forlag og andre utgivarar med norsk organisasjonsnummer" (publishers and other publishers with a Norwegian organisation number). Authors are normally limited to one book per calendar year (the "einbokregelen"). The scheme provides advance payments to publishers for author royalties and publisher portions.

No minimum or maximum amounts per applicant, co-funding percentages, or total budget pot are stated on the page. The instrument is described as "tilskudd" (grant/subsidy). Multiple submission deadlines apply depending on publication date, with the primary deadline on "15. juni kl. 13:00" (15 June at 13:00). Different rounds run from 15 December through 15 October.

Applications are submitted via https://tilskudd.kulturdirektoratet.no/utlysning/366B6771-6B43-4E8C-9F1C-E7DA1A307BB8. The scheme contact is eli.solberg@kulturdirektoratet.no. The page was last updated ("sist endret") 1 May 2026.
