Medal for Excellence in Translation
The Medal for Excellence in Translation is a major national award that recognises outstanding achievement in translation and the vital role of translators and translation in Australian culture and scholarly discourse. The Medal is awarded biennially for a book-length translation into English of a work of any genre (including scholarship) from any language and period.
Max Crawford Medal
The Max Crawford Medal is Australia’s most prestigious award for excellence and promise in the humanities. It is presented biennially to an Australian-based early career scholar, whose research and publications make an exceptional contribution to the understanding of their discipline by the general public. The Medal has been awarded since 1992 and recipients have gone on to forge strong careers in the Australian humanities community.
The Medal celebrates the outstanding career of eminent historian and Academy Foundation Fellow Emeritus Professor R. M. (Max) Crawford OBE FAHA. This award has been made possible by a generous bequest to the Academy by Professor Crawford.
