Each year, CAHS hosts our Annual Translation Competition, offering current students of Classical Languages and Ancient History at UQ the opportunity to showcase their Ancient Greek or Latin skills outside of the classroom.

By participating, students can put their language skills to the test, and winners will each receive a Certificate of Achievement, a Loeb Book Prize, and eternal fame on our perpetual Trophy Shields.

Our 2020 Competition is Now Open – Entries Close Friday 9th October!

For the competition flyer listing all details, contact us at cahs.uq@gmail.com or keep an eye out for the email/notice from your LATN, GREK and ANCH lecturers! 

Please note: To participate, you must be a current UQ student enrolled in a Classical Languages or Ancient History Course, Major, or Program, and have completed a LATN or GREK course within the last 2 years. All details are listed on the 2020 competition flyer.
