The Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) has announced the call for entries for the third edition of the Sharjah Rights Connection Award, which honors professionals excelling in the sale and acquisition of translation rights. This prestigious award aims to celebrate the individuals shaping the future of the global publishing industry by recognizing their innovation and expertise.

The submission must be in English and accompanied by two 500-word testimonials from current clients, demonstrating why the nominee is deserving of this recognition. Only individual nominations are accepted.

 

Candidates should specify the category they are applying for and provide their personal contact details. They are also encouraged to submit up to 1,000 words outlining key achievements over the past year, including growth in their business, successful deals, innovations, partnerships, and other significant accomplishments, supported by documentation or images.
