If you search in google for "Bollingen Prize translation" then the first hit you get says:
"Bollingen Prize -- Encyclopædia Britannica ... In 1961 the Bollingen Foundation also established a prize for translation. ... In 1961 the Bollingen Foundation also established a prize for translation. ... www.britannica.com/eb/article?tocId=9080497 - Similar pages"
Using this link is useless unless you are registered with the Britannica. But from the little information there it is clear there is a second Bollingen prize (one for translation). And this page also refers to the prize and moreover says: the winner in 1963 was Richard Wilbur. I also think that Robert Fitzgerald won the prize for his translation of the Illiad and also that Walter Arndt won it for his translation of Eugene Onegin.
Beyond this I can't seem to find any information about the prize. Can anyone else shed some light? Number 0 16:27, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Aha!
This mini bio of Fitzgerald says he won the first Bollingen translation award for the Iliad in 1961, which seems to tie in with everything else so I shall something saying that in the main article.

I see that every year or two someone else gets curious about this prize. I'm starting a list below for eventual transfer to the article. Easchiff 03:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Awarded annually 1961-1963, 1965 & 1967.
I notice that it isn't indicated anywhere in the body that this is specifically an American award. I'm guessing it's not just coincidence that all the winners have been Americans. But can anyone know for sure if the recipient has to be an American?-- Lairor ( talk) 06:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
