The Kurodahan Press Translation Prize
It gives us great pleasure to announce the Kurodahan Press Translation
Prize, awarded for excellence in translation of a selected Japanese
short
story into English. We hope that it will be possible to continue this
prize
as an annual event.
Kurodahan Press was established to preserve and circulate contemporary
and
historical observations of Asia, and to produce informative and
entertaining
translations. The Japanese literary world needs no help from us in
producing
outstanding works, but they cannot be introduced to a broader, global
audience without skilled translators capable of rendering delicate
nuances
and atmospheres into another language.
The Kurodahan Press Translation Prize is held to help locate and
encourage
these translators.
The short story to be translated is 笛塚 by 岡本綺堂, and is about 9500
characters in length.
Submissions will be accepted through September 30, 2008, Japan time.
Three judges will select the winning entry (alphabetical order by
surname):
- Juliet Winters Carpenter, Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts
- Meredith McKinney, Visiting Fellow, Japan Centre, Australian
National
University
- Royall Tyler
The winning entry will receive a cash prize, and an additional payment
for
first English publication rights in the upcoming kaiki anthology.
Submissions will not be returned, but translators will retain all
applicable
rights to their work.
