Call for submission for the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature

We are currently accepting applications for Japanese to English translation of literary works for the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature.

The Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize has long set a standard of excellence in its field, playing a central and enduring role in enhancing the quality, quantity, and scope of Japanese literary works that receive translation into the English language. Annually, it awards the Prize to the best translation of a book- length modern work or a classical work, which is selected by the translators themselves.

The 2011 Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize application deadline is Thursday, October 28, 2010.
