2026 Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship
Ends on
The Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards recognize outstanding translations into English of modern Italian poetry through a $10,000 book prize and a $25,000 fellowship, given in alternating years. The Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship will be given in 2026 to enable an American translator to travel, study, or otherwise advance a significant work-in-progress. The Academy invites applications from American translators currently engaged in the translation of twentieth-century Italian poetry. The winning translator will receive an award of $25,000 and a five-week residency at the American Academy in Rome. The judges for the 2026 Raiziss/de Palchi Fellowship are Gian Maria Annovi, Patrizio Ceccagnoli, and Anna Kraczyna. Please review the guidelines before sending your submission.
