2012 International Translation Competition
 
International Translation Competition 2012 closed
All native speakers accept and adapt to their mother tongue fluently with language changing on a seemingly daily basis. It metamorphoses and changes almost invisibly. Today it can be argued that words change their meaning at a faster and faster pace. To this end we approached world-class journalists, politicians,writers, broadcasters teachers, professors and poets as well as ordinary people who have one thing in common. They write in contemporary English, which is their Mother Tongue. Each of them is asked to donate a new piece of writing around 2,000 – 2,500 words of new writing. These works should be no more than one year old. Each piece, on any subject is loaded to a separate website www.kerinsnaumov.com which is used exclusively for the competition. The organisers do not read or vet the texts, which can be take any stand on any topic and have included serious, humourous and often insightful pieces of wonderful journalism and contemporary writing. Participants are expected to translate four pieces two compulsory and two free choice from a batch of around 10- 12 articles. click here to see sexual health video click here to see slide show click here to visit www.kerinsnaumov.comhttp://www.kerinsnaumov.comTranslation_Competition_Slide_Show.htmlhttp://www.kerinsnaumov.comshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3
