Hello,
My country is one of the most corrupted in Europe. The funds that are supposed to help artists go to already established writers (usually writers who are members of the one or the other political party and who by no means are in need of money). There are some funds from EU that supposedly help writers in my country, but again the committees who select the winners should speak the language of my country (hence, committees are corrupted, though the funds come from a third party). Under such conditions, I thought a literary project that would make young writers create short fiction against corruption (I am willing to discuss the details of this project in private only). This year, I am going to pay the winner 300$ for his short story, publish it in a literary journal through my acquaintances and get translated it into English. But, I am wondering if there might be some organization that could help me. My project possibly could interest British or American foundations (as I said, I can give details in private only). The money do not need be distributed by me, if there is any interested organization. What I think is that if this organization could fund my project with 3000$, I can make some young writers create against corruption for 10 years in a row.
Is there anyone who could help me with this project or show me where may I apply for funds?
Thank you so much!
