It's good to know about the Cliff Becker one. Thanks, Maryann.
Here's another one:
National Translation Award
American Literary Translators Association
University of Texas at Dallas
Box 830688 (JO 51)
Richardson, TX 75083-0688
And some others--not sure which of these are still valid, but a quick internet search would clear that up:
John Florio Prize, from The Translators Association, 84 Drayton Gardens, London SW10 9SD, England (December 31 deadline; biennial)
Lewis Galantière prize (biennial), from the American Translators Association, 1735 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 903, Arlington, VA 22202-3413 (given in even-numbered years to book published within previous two years)
If you’re feeling really energetic, you might query these organizations about prizes (again, I’ve had these addresses for a while, so they may need to be updated):
International Federation of Translators (Fédération Internationale des Traducteurs, FIT), Heiveldstraat 245, B-9110 Ghent, Belgium
Literary Translators Association, 3825 Lacombe, Montreal, Quebec PQ H3T lM3, Canada
The Translators Association, 84 Drayton Gardens, London SW10 9SD, England
British Centre for Literary Translation, School of Language, Linguistics and Translation Studies University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, England
Good luck, Mike. The detail about four years of waiting, only to be given a task that needs to be done pronto, sounds painfully familiar.
