Greetings from the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago (CEAS)!
Just a friendly reminder regarding the CALL FOR NOMINATIONS for The William F. Sibley Memorial Subvention Award for Japanese Translation.
This annual competition, coordinated by the Committee on Japanese Studies of the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago, honors the legacy of William F. Sibley, Associate Professor Emeritus in East Asian Languages & Civilizations and scholar and translator of Japanese literature. In keeping with Sibley’s lifelong devotion to translation and to the place of literature in the classroom, the award provides up to $3,000 as a publishing subvention for translations of Japanese literature into English.
Eligible translations include, but are not limited to, poetry, fiction, short stories, compositions, literary criticism, and essays. New translations of works previously translated are acceptable. Subvention funds will be paid directly to publishers. Nominations will only be accepted from presses that have previously published Japanese literature in translation.
Below and attached you will find a flyer for the Award. The deadline for nominations from publishers is Saturday, April 1, 2023.
Full details and nomination instructions can be found on the CEAS website:
