The municipality of Elgoibar, together with Danobatgroup and Elkar, has announced the fifth edition of the Gotzon Garate grant. This initiative aims to promote literary creation in the Basque language and pay tribute to the late local writer, philosopher, and linguist.

The call is open to anyone interested, regardless of age, provided they are emerging writers who have not published more than one book before July 30th, which is the deadline for submitting applications.

The selected individual will receive an 8,000 euro grant and will have a 12-month period to complete their original novel. During this time, they will receive literary mentorship under the supervision of Elgoibar City Council.

The full terms and conditions are available on the municipal website. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact the Basque Language Department by calling 943 744 366.
