In celebration of translation
Save the date for our annual translation award doubleheader and join us in celebrating both established and emerging translators from German into English. We will update this listing with the names of both prizewinners by the end of August.
Established in 1996 and newly funded by the Friends of Goethe New York, the Helen & Kurt Wolff Translator’s Prize honors an outstanding literary translation from German into English published in the USA or Canada the previous year. The prizewinning translator will receive $5,000 as well as a fully-funded trip to the Frankfurter Buchmesse.
Since 2011, the Gutekunst Prize of the Friends of Goethe New York has identified outstanding young translators of German literature into English and assisted them in establishing contact with the translation and publishing communities. The prize has been generously supported by the Friends of Goethe New York since 2017.
