The Gerardo de Cremona Translation Award

Four awards are given out to translators and institutions devoted to translation on both shores of the Mediterranean. The deadline for submitting candidacies is May 31.

The Gerardo de Cremona Translation Award is a prize created in 2015 and promoted by the Toledo School of Translators and the University of Castilla-La Mancha, with the cooperation of MED21 Awards Network, the Municipal Government of Cremona and the King Abdulaziz Foundation of Casablanca.

The ceremony is held in different locations, and every year four awards are given out to translators and institutions devoted to translation (two from the southern shore of the Mediterranean and two from the northern shore). Work by translators who create bridges between these two shores is most highly valued. As of today, all the awards granted to translators from the southern shore have come from the Arab world  (Saleh Almani, Khadim Jihad, the National Translation Center of Egypt, the Schools of Translators of Tangiers and Beirut, etc.), though it is not restricted to just the Arab world but also includes Turkey, Israel and any other country or language along the shores of the Mediterranean.
