| ALTA National Translation Award | Updated May 20th, 2009 |
 Each year, the American Literary Translators Association (ALTA) invites publishers to nominate book-length translations, published in the preceding calendar year, for the ALTA National Translation Award. The award-winning book and translator are announced and featured at the annual ALTA conference held each fall, and a press release is distributed to selected major publications. The translator selected for this award receives a cash gift, currently set at $2500. To be eligible for the award, a translation must have been published during the preceding calendar year by a U.S. or Canadian publisher and must be a book-length work, in English, of fiction, poetry, drama, or creative non-fiction (literary criticism and philosophy are not eligible). For nominated books selected as finalists, publishers will be asked to provide an original-language version of the text; any finalist for which no original-language version is provided will be excluded from further consideration. The criteria for judging the award are: (1) the significance of the literary contribution of the original as well as of the translation; and (2) the success of the translation in recreating the artistry of the original. Translations of contemporary works will receive preference, although important retranslations or first-time translations of older works will also be considered to the degree that they make significant contributions to literature. The deadline for nominating books published in the preceding calendar year is March 31. For each nominated book, send a letter of nomination, four copies of the book, and a $25 entry fee send: Complete MS looking for: Non-Fiction Book specifically: Translation |

| Broken Bridge Folio Series | Updated October 21st, 2009 |
|
Submissions via an online form ONLY. The Broken Bridge Folio Series is a quarterly contest meant to carry on the spirit of the now defunct Broken Bridge Review, whose mission was “to provide emerging writers with a venue for publication at once competitive, respected, edgy, and beautiful.” At the time of its demise, BBR had moved from an annual review of poetry and fiction to a quarterly folio series. A folio lives somewhere between a broadside and a chapbook, containing 10-16 pages of poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. The Broken Bridge Folio Series is open to collaborative and co-written work as well as to work that defies clear genre distinctions—so long as you can in good conscious claim that your work belongs among the genre to which it is submitted, that is enough for us. Each genre has its own deadline throughout the year: May 1 -- Non-Fiction August 1 -- Poetry November 1 -- Fiction send: Complete MS looking for: Article specifically: Creative Non-Fiction |
