AUSIT's inaugural translation competition

AUSIT Translation Competition 2020

The inaugural AUSIT Translation Competition was open to non-professional translators in seven languages: Arabic, French, German, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish.

Thanks to the active participation of students from our Educational Affiliate members (listed here: <https://ausit.org/studying-translation-and-interpreting/>), we received a whopping total of forty-four entries.

These were reviewed by a team of assessors, and a winner was chosen for each language, plus runners-up for languages with high numbers of entrants.

Congratulations to this year’s winners and runners-up, and a big thank you to our twenty-one volunteer assessors!

All winners are awarded a free annual AUSIT membership, and both winners and assessors receive free attendance of the AUSIT 2020 National Conference.

AUSIT Translation Competition will be an annual event, featuring different languages each year. We look forward to seeing fantastic translations carried out by students from our Educational Affiliates in next year’s competition!
