The PEN Translation Prize is an annual award presented by the PEN America organization to honor outstanding translations of literary works into English. Established in 1963, the prize aims to recognize the vital role that translators play in bringing global literature to English-speaking audiences. The award is open to translations of works published in the previous year, and it celebrates both the translator's skill and the original author's creativity. Winning the PEN Translation Prize not only provides recognition but also helps promote the translated work, encouraging readers to explore diverse literary voices from around the world.
