The winner is Eve Hill-Agnus' translation of Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro. Coming from @deepvellum.bsky.social
This is an award that specifically funds a translation, the book is coming in March and it looks extremely up my alley as a sea-themed spooky SFF novel.

Happy 10th anniversary to the book that made me a publisher, that changed my life, that continues to be the guide star in the history of Deep Vellum & all we’re trying to do in this world
It’s been a long time coming—10 years, in fact—but the deluxe edition of our very first book, TEXAS: THE GREAT THEFT is now available! This special anniversary edition features an engaging, dynamic introduction by @mervatim, and a helpful list of characters (you’ll need it!)
