The names of the 27 winners of the European Commission’s annual EU Young Translator Juvenes Translatores contest for secondary school pupils were published 28 January 2013. More than 3000 pupils from 750 schools sat the contest in November 2012. The winners – one per EU country – will be invited to an award ceremony in Brussels on 11 April to receive their prizes from Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou and will also have the chance to see the Commission's translators at work. The contest, which was first organised in 2007, continues to grow in popularity. Nearly 1 750 schools registered to take part in the 2012-2013 competition – this was reduced to 750 for logistical reasons following a random computer selection. The contest has created its own network, enabling students, teachers and professionals to interact through Facebook, Twitter and a blog. |
