Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards

The Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards recognize outstanding translations into English of modern Italian poetry through a $10,000 book prize and a $25,000 fellowship, given in alternating years.

The Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards Fund was established in 1995 through a bequest to The New York Community Trust by Sonia Raiziss Giop, a poet, translator, and long-time editor of Chelsea. The Trust has selected the Academy to administer the award.

The $25,000 Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship will be given in 2021 for the translation into English of a significant work of modern Italian poetry.

Submissions were accepted from September 15, 2020 through February 15, 2020 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The judges for the 2021 Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship are Moira Egan, Rebecca Falkoff, and Graziella Sidoli.
