The Anthea Bell Translation Competition 2024
The MFL Team sent this report:
The competition ran for the fourth time in February–April 2024. It ran across four varying levels of difficulty in five languages (French, Spanish, German, Italian and Mandarin), covering all year groups at secondary school from age 11 to 18. The competition also runs from French into Welsh.
Over 16,000 students took part in the competition task, and schools submitted the top five entries for each level. The team of 22 judges, including Oxford Modern Languages undergraduates and leading professional literary translators, then assessed just under 3,600 entries to the competition.
Our very own Dede in 9T and Jessica in 9G were awarded a commendation for their Level 2 Spanish entry for the South-East.
Congratulations to you both and very well done to all Invicta students who participated in this competition!
