Between 15 October and 21 November 2014, Skrivanek – translation agency and language school – organises a nationwide language competition for students of English departments and those pursuing similar lines of study who are interested in the development of their translation skills.

The competition aims to encourage students to improve their linguistic competence, and make it easier for the best aspiring translators to enter the real market.

The entrants will be challenged with two business English texts to be translated into Polish.

The organiser welcomes the participation of any university or school of higher education that is interested in helping its students to get on the first rung on the career ladder.

The winners can expect some attractive prizes sponsored by Skrivanek, the British Council and Macmillan Education.

The competition is organised in cooperation with our partner universities: Institute of Anthropocentric Linguistics and Culturology of the University of Warsaw, English Department of the University of Warsaw, Higher School of Tourism and Languages (WSTiJO) in Warsaw, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS), Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Faculty of Philology of the University of Wrocław, Nicolaus Copernicus University, State Higher School of Computer Sciences and Business (PWSIiP) in Łomża, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities (UPH), State School of Higher Professional Education (PWSZ) in Elbląg, University of Information Technology and Management (WSIiZ) in Rzeszów and the State School of Higher Professional Education (PWSZ) in Racibórz.
