The Chinese Studies Association of Australia and The Australian Association for Literary Translation call for submissions to a 2023 Chinese-English Translation Competition.
The CETC considers translations of Chinese texts of any genre or period into English. The length of submissions is 10-15 double-spaced pages of prose or 8-10 double-spaced pages of poetry translated into English.
Submission will also include a commentary of 800 to 1200 words (not included in submission page count) explaining their choice of text and strategies of translation. For examples of commentaries, see AALITRA Review.
Translations of previously translated texts are acceptable only if they are completely novel translations, and the commentary must justify the choice.
The winning entry will receive 250 AUD and be strongly considered for publication in AALITRA Review.
The deadline for entries will be June 30, 2023 and should be submitted to csaa.members@sydney.edu.au. The winner will be awarded at CSAA in December 2023.
Eligibility: Australian PRs & citizens or members of CSAA or AALITRA.
