Ny norsk skjønnlitteratur for barn og unge – selektiv 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). It targets smaller publishers, supports diversity in literary output, and operates as a selective purchase arrangement where applications are evaluated before purchase.

Eligible applicants are "ordninga rettar seg mot mindre utgivarar av ny norsk skjønnlitteratur" (the scheme targets smaller publishers of new Norwegian fiction) with a Norwegian organisation number. Applicants may submit up to three titles per deadline ("inntil tre titlar per søknadsfrist"), with an exception for works translated from Sámi and national minority languages.

The payment tables for 2026 show disbursement amounts by category (approximately 119,000–178,500 NOK for authors; 180,000–259,000 NOK for publishers), but no total scheme budget pot or per-applicant minimum or maximum is stated on the page. Two deadlines apply: "15. februar" for books published 1 January–30 June, and "15. august kl. 13:00" for books published 1 July–31 December (application form opens 15 July at 08:00).
