NORLA's Translator's Award
NORLA awards annually a prize to a talented emerging translator who has contributed significantly to the translation of Norwegian literature into foreign languages, as well as to the promotion of Norwegian literature abroad. NORLA’s Translator’s Award is given for translations directly from Norwegian.
The prize value is 20 000 Norwegian kroner and included is a two week stay in Norway. It was awarded for the first time in May 2007, during the Norwegian Festival of Literature at Lillehammer.
The prize will be awarded every second year to a translator who has made an eminent contribution to Norwegian non-fiction literature, and every second year to a translator of Norwegian fiction.
The fiction award is granted courtesy of Kristin Brudevoll’s Anniversary Fund.
