The Black Lawrence Press Rhine Translation Prize for a book-length literary translation from German into English celebrates the cultural power of literature in translation, highlights the vital contributions of literature in translation to the English-speaking world, and follows Black Lawrence Press’ history of publishing some of the most important voices in German, Austrian, and Swiss literature. The Prize will be awarded every two years.
The inaugural Rhine Translation Prize will open for submissions on 1 July 2022. The deadline for entries is 31 December 2022.
Entry Fee: $30
The winning translator and author will receive a prize of $1,000 (to be shared equally between translator and author––or the author’s estate, unless the work is in the public domain), book publication, and ten copies of the book. Prizes will be awarded upon publication.
