The '''Best Translated Book Award'''
The award
In October 2010 [[Amazon.com]] announced it would be underwriting the prize with a $25,000 grant.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=3709 |title=Amazon.com to Underwrite Open Letter's Best Translated Book Awards |date=2010-10-21 |work=[[Daily Record (Maryland)|The Daily Record]] |accessdate=September 25, 2012}}</ref> This would allow both the translator and author to receive a $5,000 prize. Prior to this the award did not carry a cash prize.
In January 2023, the prize's initiator, Chad Post, announced on the Three Percent blog that the award, which had not been given out since 2020, would remain on "continued hiatus."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Post |first1=Chad |title=To All the Posts I Didn't Write Last Year |url=https://www.rochester.edu/College/translation/threepercent/2023/01/10/to-all-the-posts-i-didnt-write-last-year/ |website=Three Percent |access-date=13 April 2024}}</ref>
