GLLI Translated YA Book Prize

The Global Literature in Libraries Initiative (GLLI) Translated YA Book Prize is awarded annually for a Young Adult book translated into English.
About the Prize
The award was established by the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative (GLLI), the aim of the prize being ‘to recognize publishers, translators, and authors of books in English translation for young adult readers" and "to honor the most outstanding translated work originally written and published (or simultaneously published) in a language other than English." The prize was first awarded in 2019.
