Inalco-Vo/Vf Translation Prize: seven books in the running
Institute
The Inalco-Vo/Vf Translation Prize
The Translation Prize, launched in 2019 by Inalco in partnership with the Vo-Vf Festival, rewards a translation into French from one of the languages taught at the Institute. Endowed with 1,000 euros, this prize is designed to highlight the quality of a translator's work, as well as the richness of literatures that are sometimes still little known to the general public because they are often less widely distributed.
The Inalco Translation Prize 2022 will be awarded on October 2, 2022 in Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne), at the close of the 10th edition of the Festival Vo-Vf, traduire le monde.
It will be presented by prize initiators Marie Vrinat-Nikolov and Nathalie Carré (Inalco), in the presence of writer and Inalco alumnus Mathias Enard.
