The Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize

Organised in association with St. Anne’s College, The Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize rewards the translation of a work of fiction into English from a living European language. The winner is chosen by a selection board drawn from various members of the language and literature faculty of Oxford University and an assessor from another university.
