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 $10,000 Raiziss/de Palchi Book Prize will be given in 2020 for the translation into English of a significant work of modern Italian poetry.

Submissions are accepted between September 15, 2019, and February 15, 2020. Postmark deadline: February 15, 2020. The judges are Maria Esposito Frank, Giorgio Mobili, and Michael Palma. Submissions are closed.
