“Allatta!” means “Let’s write!” and is a writing competition that has been held three times before in 2013, 2015 and 2018. Previous Allatta! competitions have given birth to Greenlandic author names such as Niviaq Korneliussen, Sørine Steenholdt and Pivinnguaq Mørch.
Purpose
Allatta! 4.0 is an unique opportunity to foster and cultivate an author potential that is already present in Greenland. Greenlandic oral storytelling tradition is still strong among the population, and Allatta! 4.0 focuses on supporting the transition from oral storytelling culture to written. Therefore, we have chosen a theme that is based on a strong Greenlandic tradition of spooky stories. The project involves building and maintaining the skills of literary talents, which will benefit the Greenlandic literary community in the long term. At the same time, the project offers a voice for Greenlandic voices and an opportunity to share Arctic perspectives with the rest of the Nordic region and the Arctic.
The project is owned by NAPA and Kalaallit Atuakkiortut (Greenland Writers’ Association). The latter has solid insight and experience with the literary community in Greenland. The project management is with NAPA.
