The EBRD Literature Prize 2024 celebrates the literary richness of the Bank’s regions of operation and the role of translators as bridges between cultures. The competition has been extended to North American publishers for the first time, expanding its reach and promoting new translated literature. The prize money of €20,000 will be shared equally between the author and translator of the winning book, further highlighting the collaborative nature of literary translation. Since its inception in 2018, the Prize has introduced English-language readers to a diverse range of literature from countries where the EBRD invests.
