| 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: Poetry specifically: Translation |

| Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award | Updated October 14th, 2009 |
|
This competition is open to African American poets only. If you have already had a book published by Lotus Press, you are ineligible. However, inclusion in a Lotus Press anthology does not disqualify you. Any other serious African American poet, whether previously published or not, may submit a book length manuscript for consideration. Poems submitted by another person, anthologies, or collaborations by more than one poet are not eligible. The poems in the manuscript should total approximately 60‑90 pages, exclusive of a table of contents or other optional introductory material. Begin each poem on a new page, no matter how short it may be, and number the pages. Poems that have been published individually in periodicals or anthologies are acceptable, but we will not consider an entire collection that has been previously published, whether self‑published or not. Manuscripts entered in the Madgett competition may not be submitted to other publishers for general consideration but may be submitted to other competitions as long as you notify us that you have done so or plan to do so. If you are notified that your manuscript has won another competition, you MUST inform us of this immediately. Send two complete copies of your manuscript, typed or computer‑generated on white, letter‑size paper, with the pages consecutively numbered, to the address below. Do not include your name on any of the pages. Include with each copy a cover sheet which contains the title of the collection only and no other information. On one separate sheet of paper, list: (1) the title of the manuscript; (2) your name, address, telephone number(s) and e‑mail address, if you have one; and (3) a brief statement signed with your legal name, indicating that (a) all the poems in the collection are original and uncollected (not appearing in a published volume of your work) and (b) you are an African American. Enclose a stamped, self‑addressed post card so that we may acknowledge receipt of your material. Award entries must be received between January 2 and March 31, 2010. You will be notified of the winner's and the judges' names no later than June 1, 2010. The decision of the judges is final. The award winner will receive $500 in cash and publication of the manuscript by Lotus Press, Inc. early in 2011. send: Complete MS looking for: Poetry specifically: African-American |
