This competition is open to anyone aged 18 to 40 years and entries must be submitted by Friday 28 September 2012.

Each entry must be an English translation of one of the pieces listed in conditions of participation.

The mentorship programme will focus on prose and poetry translation including visit to London Book Fair to develop opportunities for commercial and collaborative work in the future.

Two prizes will be awarded. The winning translations will be chosen by a panel of expert judges including Maureen Freely.
