North California Translation prize

[Nina Murray]

Forwarding along: 

Dear Friends:

The Center for the Art of Translation is co-sponsoring the Northern California 
Book Award in Translation for the best translation by a Northern California 
translator. We are continuing to collect eligible titles but the deadline for 
nominations is quickly approaching so please send in any suggestions for the 
award.

We ask for your assistance in identifying books that may be qualified for the 
translation award. Eligible titles include book-length translations from any 
language into English (primarily fiction and poetry, though some non-fiction may 
be considered) published by Northern California translators in 2010. For 
clarification, Northern California is here defined as Fresno and north to the 
Oregon border; the publisher does not have to be from Northern California, but 
the translator must currently reside there.
Anyone can suggest a translation for this award; an awards committee will then 
select a limited number of finalists. We ask publishers to send 3 copies of any 
eligible title to the address below.
Sponsors of the Northern California Book Awards (with categories in fiction, 
non-fiction, poetry, children's literature, and translation) include the 
Northern California Book Reviewers (formerly Bay Area Book Reviewers 
Assn/BABRA), Poetry Flash, the San Francisco Public Library and Friends of the 
San Francisco Public Library, Mechanics' Institute, PEN West, and Red Room 
(redroom.com).
This year's NCBA ceremony will be held at the San Francisco Main Library on 
Sunday, April 10, 2011.

DEADLINE FOR ELIGIBLE BOOKS: DECEMBER 15, 2010
(If the book is due out later in December, we still need all the information in 
advance of the deadline.)
For all suggestions, please include the title of the book, the authors name, the 
translators name, the publisher, the original language, and the genre, and send 
the information to:

awards at catranslation.org
If you are a publisher, please send 3 copies of any eligible book to:
