BG BABEL BURSARIES CONTEST RESULTS
(1999-2000)
Montreal, October 5, 2000 - A rare event in the language industry, a large Montreal-based
multilingual translation agency, BG Communications International Inc., organised a contest
throughout the province; the «BG Babel Bursaries». Divided into a total of five categories:
three of which are at the university level: A) English to French translation, B) French to
English translation, and C) French/English to Spanish translation; while two are at the Cegep
level: the English or French revision of a text. The Babel Bursaries were created to reflect
the company's wish to contribute to the training of tomorrow's translators and linguists,
promote professional excellence, and ensure a continuity in human resources in the sector of
translation, revision, terminology and linguistics in Quebec.
It is not only to alleviate the absence of incentives for new translators, but also to
identify the most promising talent at the university level, support their integration in
the job market and foster a greater recognition for the profession that BG Communications
International Inc. has created and implemented the Babel Bursary programme.
As the result of lengthy debates amongst jury members, here is the list of the 1999-2000
