Started up in 2015, with a total endowment of two million US dollars in its different categories, the Sheikh Hamad Prize for International Translation and Understanding includes Spanish as the main language for the award this year, making translations from Arabic to Spanish and Spanish to Arabic eligible for awards in the main categories.
The award provides great support to the field of Spanish-Arabic and Arabic-Spanish translation. It awards a total amount of US$200,000 for the best three translations from Arabic into Spanish and the same amount for Spanish-to-Arabic translations ($100,000 for the first prize, $60,000 for the second prize and $40,000 for the third prize). It also includes a special category, also awarding $200,000 ($100,000 for Arabic-Spanish and $100,000 for Spanish-Arabic), for contributions which build upon a culture of peace and promote international understanding.
Casa Árabe was one of the institutions awarded the prize in 2016 in this special category meant to acknowledge the track record of a person or institution that has contributed to the building a culture of peace and promoting international understanding, along with Banipal, a British journal of Arabic literature, and the Ibn Tufayl Foundation for Arab Studies (Spanish Arabism awarded in Doha).
Candidacies for this new edition may be submitted online through the award website. Further information at: الدولي والتفاهم للترجمة حمد الشيخ جائزة (hta.qa)
