Rossica Young Translators Award 2011

[James Rann]

Dear SEELANGS members,

I believe the following announcement will be of interest.

Academia Rossica is pleased to announce the third Rossica Young
Translators Award. This prize was established to encourage and support
young people across the world interested in translating from Russian, as
part of Academia Rossica’s wider mission to establish stronger cultural
and artistic ties between Russia and the West.

The award is open to anyone who will be 24 or under on Friday 25th March.
Entrants are required to translate one of three extracts of about 2,000
words, available at our website,  from recent works by Russian authors.
Submissions must be sent to Academia Rossica, either by post or email
(james.rann at academia-rossica.org), by 25th March. A shortlist of entrants
will be announced on Friday 8th April: these translators will all be
invited to attend a special event on Wednesday April 13th at the Russian
Market Focus at London Book Fair, where they will receive a unique chance
to meet Russian authors and other translators. Here the winner will be
announced and presented with a cheque for £500.

We look forward to receiving your translations!

Full details, and copies of the texts for translation, are available at
our website www.academia-rossica.org. If you have any questions, please
contact james.rann at academia-rossica.org.


Yours,

James Rann
