This competition is inspired by the life and work of the great translator Anthea Bell. It aims to promote language learning across the UK and to inspire creativity in the classroom. By providing teachers with the tools they need to bring translation to life, we hope to motivate more pupils to study modern foreign languages throughout their time at school and beyond.
Please complete the below form to register your interest in the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators 2022-23. You will receive creative translation resources for five languages (French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish) and competition tasks. The resources will be made available in September 2022, January 2023, February 2023, and the competition window will be open from mid-February until the end of March 2023.
Here you can also confirm if you would like to receive information about our International Book Club for Schools, Re-viewing the World, and Creative Translation Workshops (link: https://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/creative-translation-schools) run in schools by undergraduate ambassadors. Please note that the workshops will run in schools in summer term 2023. In-person workshops will be available to schools in certain areas of the UK, and we hope to offer virtual workshops to schools in other areas.
