Romania Selected To Participate In 2010 European Prize For Literature

Emerging authors from 11 countries participating in the EU Culture Program will be granted awards during the ceremony in November.

Romania was selected to participate in the 2010 European Prize for Literature along with Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Macedonia.

„The aim of the EUPL is to put the spotlight on the creativity and diverse wealth of Europe’s contemporary literature, to promote the circulation of literature within Europe and encourage greater interest in non-national literary works,” the EC website said.

In 2009, 12 prizes were awarded to emerging authors during a ceremony in Brussels celebrating the diversity of European literature.
