International Literature Award (German: Internationaler Literaturpreis – Haus der Kulturen der Welt) is a German literary award for international prose translated into German for the first time.[1] The prize has been awarded annually by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt and the foundation “Elementarteilchen” since 2009.[1] Winning authors receive €20,000 and the translators €15,000.[2] The award has compared as the German near-equivalent of the Best Translated Book Award or Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.[2] In 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic, the award was given to all six shortlisted titles, with the prize money divided equally.[3]
