Gulf Coast magazine just announced that they’re accepting entries for their inaugural “Gulf Coast Translation Prize”:
Gulf Coast is now accepting entries for the inaugural Gulf Coast Translation Prize. In 2014, the contest is open to poetry in translation. The winner receives $1,000 and publication in the journal. Two honorable mentions will also appear in issue 27.2, due out in April 2015. All entries will be considered for paid publication on our website as Online Exclusives.
They add that this year’s judge will be:
Jen Hofer, a Los Angeles-based poet, translator, social justice interpreter, teacher, and urban cyclist. Jen Hofer is co-founder with John Pluecker of the language justice and literary activism collaborative Antena.
The catch:
Entrants to this contest must pay either $17 or $15 (there’s different information on different pages). Since poets and translators don’t make for the wealthiest combination, will anyone enter this contest?
