Gulf Coast Translation Prize and Other Summer Submission Calls
The second annual Gulf Coast Translation Prize is now open for submissions:
The magazine Gulf Coast is now accepting entries for its translation prize. This year’s contest is open to prose in translation, both fiction and nonfiction. The contest winner will receive $1,000, while two honorable mentions will receive $250 each. All entries will be considered for paid publication on the GC website.
Although there’s a steep entry fee — $17 — it comes with a one-year subscription to Gulf Coast, and as a bonus for Arabophone translators, this year’s contest will be judged by the poet-scholar-translator Ammiel Alcalay.
Note that “preference will be given to contemporary work published within the last fifty years.” The deadline for submissions is August 31, 2015. More here.
