Popescu Prize

Popescu Prize

Popescu Prize is a bi-annual poetry award established in 1983.[1][2] It is given by the Poetry Society for a volume of poetry translated from a European language into English.[1][2] Formerly called the European Poetry Translation Prize (1983-1997) the Prize was relaunched in 2003, and renamed in memory of the Romanian translator Corneliu M. Popescu, who died at age 19 in 1977.[1] Popescu translated the work of one of Romania's leading poets, Mihai Eminescu, into English.[1] The prize of £1,500 is awarded to a translator.[1] Financial support has been provided by the Ratiu Foundation since 2003[1] (the Foundation was established in London in 1979 by Ion and Elisabeth Ratiu to promote and support projects which further education and research in the culture and history of Romania).[1]
