John Sykes Memorial Prize for Excellence
Presented for outstanding achievement in translation or interpreting over a long period, the winner is selected by the current and recent Chairs of the Institute.
In 2024, the prize was awarded to Nick Rosenthal. Nick spearheaded a period of massive change for ITI when he was Chair of the board from 2011 to 2013. He was instrumental in transforming the institute from a member-run entity into a businesslike force for the promotion of the translation and interpreting professions in the more competitive and rapidly changing international panorama of the time. His original and forward-thinking approach led directly to ITI’s professionalisation.
