PEN America Translation awards

The $3,000 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation is conferred every year in New York. The award recognises book-length translations of poetry from any language into English published during the current calendar year, and is judged by a single translator of poetry appointed by the PEN Translation Committee. http://www.pen.org/content/pen-award-poetry-translation

The PEN/Heim Translation Fund was established in the summer of 2003 by a gift of $730,000 from Priscilla and Michael Henry Heim in response to the dismayingly low number of literary translations currently appearing in English. Its purpose is to promote the publication and reception of translated world literature in English. Over the nine years of its existence, the Fund has given grants of $2,000–$10,000 to a total of 72 translations from 30 languages, including Armenian, Basque, Estonian, Farsi, Finland-Swedish, Lithuanian and Mongolian, as well as French, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic. http://www.pen.org/content/penheim-translation-fund-grants-2000-4000
