The Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators is an initiative of the Queen’s College Translation Exchange, whose mission is to inspire lifelong engagement in languages and international culture, and in particular to motivate more students to study modern foreign languages throughout their time at school, college and beyond.
The competition was launched in 2020 and was inspired by the life and work of the great translator Anthea Bell. It aims to promote language learning across the UK and to inspire creativity in the classroom.
