Contest for young translators opens

Wednesday 01 September 2010

Secondary schools wishing to enter pupils for the 2010 EU Young Translator Contest can register from 1 September at ec.europa.eu/translatores. The registration period for the contest, known as ‘Juvenes Translatores’ (Latin for ‘young translators’), runs until 20 October. The competition, which is open to pupils born in 1993, will be held on 23 November, at the same time in all selected schools. The total number of schools that can participate is being increased this year from 690 to 751, in response to strong demand since the launch of the contest in 2007. This number will mirror the number of seats each member state will have in the European Parliament in 2014 and each selected school will be invited to enter up to five pupils. The contestants are free to translate from and into any of the EU’s 23 official languages. The winners will be invited to Brussels in the spring of 2011 for an award ceremony hosted by Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou.
