SG Translation Month is national translation movement started by The Select Centre. The aim is to encourage, share and discover new translations of local literary works. The movement comprises a call to submit new translations. The best translation works will be showcased during the TranslateSingapore festival in September (save the dates: 9–30 Sep, 2017) as well as the National Translation Month in New York.
The Select Centre are looking for translations of works from Chinese, Malay, Tamil or English into any one of these four languages, e.g. Malay-to-Chinese, or English-to-Tamil, and vice versa.
The translations must not have been published before, but the source text may have been.
The source text can be of any literary genre – poetry, short story, novel, drama, essay, memoir, travel writing and so on – as long as it is by a Singapore writer. It can be published or unpublished.
You can be both the writer and translator. However, they strongly encourage a writer to work together with a translator.
There is no fee for submission.
