Albertine Translation Prize Ceremony

Albertine Translation Fund & Prizes, a new and enhanced version of the French Voices Awards, was launched in 2022. Representing new trends in all categories including fiction, non-fiction, and comics, it recognizes the quality of both the original work and the translation.

Chosen by a committee of independent professional experts (academics, translators, and publishers), the works selected epitomize the many facets of a vibrant French literary scene. Each book selected receives $2,000 to cover the publishing costs, and 50% of the translation costs up to $5,000.

The Albertine Translation committee also chooses, among the recipients, two winners each year – one in fiction and one in non-fiction. The winners receive a $5,000 prize allocated to the translator.

The complete list of tiles supported by the program this year will be announced on this page on January 23 and the prize winners will be announced at a Ceremony held of January 26, 2023 at 6pm at the Villa Albertine Headquarters.

The Albertine Translation Prize is made possible through the generous support of Van Cleef and Arpels, The Florence Gould Foundation, Face Foundation, and the Institut Français.
