PRIZE STORIES<br />
A Search for Excellence in Writing and Translating for Children<br />
TRANSLATING DIVERSITIES — <strong>FOR</strong>GING IDENTITIES<br />
WHAT’S YOUR STORY?<br />
Carrying forward the legacy of Katha Prize Stories, Katha announces the Balkatha Prize Stories and invites all the word<br />
storytellers to be a part of this search for excellence in writing and translating for children. The idea is to encourage, foster<br />
and applaud quintessential Indian writings in translation or otherwise, wrapped in a certain magic that communicates<br />
a culture, a way of speaking that belongs to a special little place. And giving them to the children to grapple with the<br />
uniqueness of these cultures, to make live these stories. If you’re in love with a language, are moved by the idea of giving<br />
diverse images and narratives to children and want to tell your story, we welcome you to be a part of this contest.<br />
