The annual Translation Prizes (for fiction and nonfiction) are given by the French-American Foundation, with the support of the Florence Gould Foundation, for the best translation from French. It started in 1986.
The latest winner in fiction category is John Cullen for Philippe Claudel's Brodeck. (Not sure who won in the non-fiction category.)
