BTBA 2020 Streaming Events

In a normal year, we would be gathering in NYC to announce the winners of the Best Translated Book Award, followed by a nice reception. Well . . . Since that’s obviously not going to happen, we actually came up with TWO replacement events that—if I’m being totally honest—might be even better than our normal party, especially since any and all of the judges, authors, translators, publishers, booksellers, and readers can join in this year.

On Wednesday, May 27th at 6pm eastern, we will be hosting a reading for all of the BTBA finalists. Various authors and translators will be reading—some live, some recorded—and we’ll have a chance to celebrate and highlight all fifteen finalists.

Then, on Friday, May 29th at 6pm eastern, all of the judges and representatives for all of the books will gather to talk about each title and announce the two winners.

To join in the festivities, simply fill out this form and we’ll send you the Zoom links and passwords before each event.

See you there!
