TOPIC STARTER | Contest Source texts | Oct 29, 2008 |
Hi Susan,
I'm glad you are interested in the contest. There was a German source text selected that met the criteria but unfortunately the author did not give us her authorization to present it and I learned this very close to the contest opening date.
If more suitable source texts in other languages are proposed in time, they'll be added of course.
To propose a text and receive the selection criteria please contact me at romina at proz.com.

Note that if you submit a text that is later presented as the source text, you will not be able to submit an entry for that text.
Hi M. Ali,
How can we get more details about the draw to be made?
I'd be happy to provide further details. Please let me know what kind of additional information you would like to receive.

Hi Romina,
Thank you for your answer,
I would like to know how would this draw be held?
For example:
- Will you use a computer lottery program which selects people automatically?
- Will you write the names of the winners on the small papers and put them into a box and then select them by hand?
- Would there be any Notary who would monitor and certify this selection?
I would like to know these details if possible.
Thank you in advance
M. Ali

Hi M. Ali,
Prize winners will be randomly chosen among contest winners using a computer application.
Regards,

The only thing that is not pleasant to me in competition, is that I should pay for participation in it. What I mean:
I do not use this resource as translation orders searching tool or something similar. Therefore I have taken advantage of free registration. Now, having tempted with possibility to take participation in competition, I am limited in my desire as full members are supposed only.
Is it fair?

But soon I am due to receive a payment from a translation agency and then I could pay the subscription to ProZ. Then I could take part on translation contest. Currently I don't see the Albanian language so maybe later on there would be also for Albanian language this contest available.
Best regards

We trust contestants' judgment when entering the contest. Especially when they accept the following conditions which are displayed and required to complete the submission process successfully:
* I have read and agree to the contest rules.
* This translation is my own; I have not had access to anyone else's translation of this text.
* I pledge not to discuss the content of my own or any other entry, or the decisions made while translating,with others while the contest and contest voting are underway.
* I will not let any other ProZ.com user know which entry is mine before the close of the contest
