The National Translation Award is an annual prize given by the American Literary Translators Association to an exceptional translation of a book-length work published in the preceding calendar year. As of 2010 the prize is worth $5,000.[1] The award is usually given to translations of previously untranslated contemporary works or first-time translations of older works, but important re-translations have also been honored.
The Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize is awarded at the same time as the NTA by the ALTA and recognizes the best translation into English of book-length texts of Asian poetry or Zen Buddhism. The prize was established by an anonymous donor in 2010 and is worth $5,000.[1] It named for Lucien Stryk, an American Zen poet and translator.
The awards are announced and honored at the annual ALTA conference held each fall.
