“What happens when one culture engages with another through the media of exhibitions, art writing, painting, sculpture, or film? How do artists, art historians, and curators interpret, describe, and display art and artefacts that are foreign to their target audience? What should we make of the fascination of Western artists with foreign cultures? And what does it mean for contemporary artists, Western or non-Western, to make art in a world, which, we are constantly told, is shrinking?”

These are the editor’s questions as she brought together Art in Translation: “The Reception of African Art” (Volume 5, Issue 4). This special issue aims to distinguish between the western ideal of “primitive” African art and the reality of the art made by an ever-growing, ever-changing culture.

The entries to this year's competition were absolutely superb and the committee was extremely impressed by all the selections put forward. We felt, in fact, that the entries were so good that we have put up a second, runner up prize of £100!

And so congratulations to all our winners!

1st prize goes to Vassil Yordanov, for their submission of Geo Milev's 'The Sky'. The text is (in the words of its recommendor) 'an Expressionist Manifesto written in a highly original poem-like form and a key text of Bulgarian Modernism.'

2nd prize goes to Clara Masnatta, for her selection by Herbert Molderings on Walter Benjamin's 'Little History of Photography', an essay which deals with a neglected aspect of Benjamin's writings.

Thank you so much to all the entrants to our competition, and congratulations once again to the lucky recipients of the prize money!
