We thank all entrants for their interest in the 2010 contest and for
their hard work. Even if you did not win, we hope that the contest was
a challenging and worthwhile exercise. And remember that past entrants
are welcome to enter again this year (2011) as long as they still meet
the entry criteria.
Judges commentaries will be available in the coming days. Keep
an eye out for them, even if they don't relate specifically to your
entry, as they are always an invaluable source of insight on
translating the source texts and translation in general.
