Here's hoping that someone from Harringay/Haringey can win one of these brilliant mentorships...
The British Council Translation Prize 2012 is for Turkish to English translation. The competition is open to anyone aged 18 to 40 years and entries must be submitted by Friday 28 September 2012. The winners will each receive a specially tailored mentorship.
Two prizes will be awarded: Prize for Best Prose Translation and for Best Poetry Translation. The winning translations will be chosen by a panel of expert judges including Maureen Freely (distinguished writer and translator), Daniel Hahn (Programme Director, British Centre for Literary Translation), Mevlüt Ceylan (Yunus Emre Institute, London), Susanna Nicklin (Director Literature, British Council), İlknur Özdemir (publisher and translator, Kırmızı Kedi Publishing), Tarık Günersel (Head of PEN, Turkey).
The winners will receive a specially tailored translation mentorship organised and designed by the British Centre for Literary Translation. The mentorship will focus on prose and poetry translation.*Please note that for the prose mentorship, the mentor for the winning entrant will be Maureen Freely (translator of Orhan Pamuk). The mentor for the poetry mentorship (i.e. for the winner in the poetry category of the competition) will be confirmed shortly. Return flights from the entrant’s country of residence and accommodation will be included in the prize.
