| 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: Novel specifically: Translation |

| Washington State Book Award | Updated October 14th, 2009 |
|
Please send the entry form and 6 copies of your book via mail. The Washington Center for the Book at The Seattle Public Library presents the annual Washington State Book Awards recognizing six books that exemplify the best writing in the state during a given year: Fiction, Poetry, History/biography, General nonfiction The purpose of the awards is to honor outstanding books by Washington authors and to bring attention to the quality of writing being produced in Washington. The winners of the Washington State Book Awards will be celebrated at a special event held in their honor in the fall. Each author, as well as the illustrator of the children’s picture book, will receive a $1,000 honorarium, thanks to the sponsorship of The Seattle Public Library Foundation. Definition of a Washington Author A Washington author is a writer who meets one of these criteria: 1. Was born in Washington State or 2. Is a current resident and has maintained residence here for at least three years. Selection Criteria Books will be judged based on three criteria: 1. Literary merit 2. Lasting importance 3. Overall quality of the publication Guiding Policies 1. Literary merit. Books will be judged principally on the quality of the writing. Scholarly works are eligible if they are accessible to the interested, non-specialist reader. 2. Overall quality of the publication. Production of the book, presentation, and documentation will also be considered. 3. Collected essays, poems, or short stories by various authors. Books authored by more than one individual are eligible if all authors are Washington residents. In the event such a work is selected as a winner, the award will be shared equally among the authors. 4. Translations. Translations of books written in foreign languages are eligible if the translation exhibits literary merit. 5. Authors who live in Washington part time. An author who lives in Washington part of the year and considers Washington to be her or his home is eligible. 6. Previous winners. The fact that an author has received an award in a prior year does not disqualify a current book by that author. 7. Multiple books published in one year. An author may be recognized for more than one book published in a year. 8. Series. A book that is a segment of a multiple-part series will be considered if it stands entirely on its own as a work of literature. 9. Reprints. A title that is a new or updated edition, or reprinted material (e.g., from cloth to paper), will generally not be considered unless the original edition was not considered. 10. Books inadvertently omitted. A title that was inadvertently not considered one year is eligible for consideration the following year. 11. Art books, photography books, or books that are primarily illustration. With the exception of children’s picture books (see #12), those works that consist primarily of depictions of artwork and artists’ statements without original commentary will generally not be considered. 12. Children’s book award. The Scandiuzzi Children’s Book Award will be given annually to the author and illustrator of a picture book for children (either may meet the definition of a Washington author/illustrator), and to the author of a book targeted to 10- to 18-year-old readers. send: Complete MS looking for: Novel specifically: Literary |
