H.A.I.G Prize for Translations - Winner Citation

The winner of the 2025 H.A.I.G Prize for Translation is a path maker, building a bridge between Sinhala and English in order to make the voices and lives contained in the Sinhala original find a sense of belonging elsewhere.

The linguistic acrobatics displayed by the winning translator –coping magnificently with the intricate word play of the Sinhala original – were astounding, and deeply satisfying .

The winner of The H.A.I.G Prize 2024 is Priyangwada Perera for Wid Keirdo.
