The Kurodahan Press Translation Prize is awarded for translation excellence of a selected Japanese short story into English.
It is held annually, with the contest piece usually announced in June/July and a cutoff date for submissions of the end of September. The winner is normally announced by the end of the year.
The winning translation is usually published in a Kurodahan Press anthology, such as our Speculative Japan series, although that is subject to copyright permissions from the author and the translator, which are handled separately from this contest.
And the 2015 contest has just been launched, with a short story by Hanmura Ryō, who wrote so much outstanding stuff. About the only thing in English is the Sengoku jieitai film, which he wrote the source book for, and of course his short story "Cardboard Box" in Speculative Japan Volume One.

It's open to everyone, and totally anonymous, so why not?
