No, I haven’t suggested a source text for the Translation Contest. I took part in several Proz translation contests between 2008 and 2014. By then, I considered these contests both entertaining and challenging but, after a while, I felt that they were very poorly designed. One of the flaws is that each competitor is allowed to judge the other competitors. Are we really so impartial to be fair to other people’s entries? Then, to top it up, there was an infamous one (http://www.proz.com/forum/prozcom_translation_contests/277633-translation_contest_celebrations_congratulations_to_the_first_round_of_winners.html) where it took several years to announce the winners. I will no longer enter any. I can only imagine the difficulty of running a contest for all possible language pairs, but as an active paying member I am entitled to expect from the organizers a more caring, cooperative and respectful attitude toward those who made these contests possible instead of the deafening silence we have been treated so far. ▲ Collapse
