Applicants must state which books they are commissioning reports on, and who will be writing the report.
The reader's report should be send to the Icelandic Literature Center no later than 6 months after the evaluation.
Application deadline is annually on 15 February and 15 September (16 September this year).
Application forms are available online, four weeks before the deadline, and are being processed within 6 weeks.
